The cleric has said that women should not even get close to bananas or cucumbers. "If women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male related to them such as their a father or husband, should cut the items into small pieces and serve," the cleric dictated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the cleric, bananas and cucumbers "resemble the male penis" and therefore could arouse women or "make them think of sex." The cleric also added carrots and zucchini to the list of forbidden foods for women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The news about this latest diktat against women went viral on the web with liberal Muslims feeling enraged and embarrassed.

Clerics at the largest Sunni Muslim seminary after Cairo's Al-Azhar said the decree flowed from the fact that the Sharia prohibited proximity of men and women in the workplace. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is unlawful (under the Sharia law) for Muslim women to work in the government or private sector where men and women work together and women have to talk with men frankly and without a veil," said the fatwa issued by a bench of three clerics. The decree was issued over the weekend, but became public late on Monday, seminary sources said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a time when there is a rising clamour for job quotas for Muslims in India and a yearning for progress in the community that sees itself as neglected, the fatwa, although unlikely to be heeded, is clearly detrimental. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the most conservative Islamic countries, which restrict activities of women, including preventing them from driving, do not bar women from working. At the peak of its power, the Taliban only barred women in professions like medicine from treating men and vice versa. But there was a never a blanket ban on working, although the mullahs made it amply clear that they would like to see the women confined to homes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fatwa, however, drew flak among other clerics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Men and women in Sharia are entitled to equal rights. If men follow the Sharia, there is no reason why women can't work with them," said Rasheed, the Naib Imam of Lucknow's main Eidgah Mosque in Aishbagh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mufti Maulana Khalid Rasheed of Darul Ifta Firangi Meheli -- another radical Islamic body which also issues fatwas -- criticized the Deoband fatwa as a retrograde restriction on Muslim women. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fatwa was in response to a question whether Muslim women can take up government or private jobs and whether their salary should be termed as `halal' (permissible under the Sharia) or `haram' (forbidden). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well-known Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Jawwad, however, justified the fatwa. "Women in Islam are not supposed to go out and earn a living. It's the responsibility of the males in the family," he said. "If a woman has to go for a job, she must make sure that the Sharia restrictions are not compromised," he added, citing the example of Iran, where Muslim women work in offices but have separate seating areas, away from their male counterparts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Lucknow, a city with strong secular and progressive traditions, where Muslim families train their daughters to be doctors, engineers and executives, there was a sense of shocked disbelief even in conservative quarters that such a decree could come from those who consider themselves to be advocates of the community. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am also a working woman and also ensure that my Sharia is not compromised," said Rukhsana, a lecturer at a girl's college in Lucknow and a member of the executive committee of All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB). "It's not necessary that one would have to go against the Sharia when going to work." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Name one Islamic country which does not have a national airline and does not hire airhostesses? If I know correctly, even the Saudi Airlines has hostesses and they don't wear a veil," said Shabeena Parveen, a computer professional in the city.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-266874713612924051?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/266874713612924051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=266874713612924051&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/266874713612924051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/266874713612924051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-illegal-for-women-to-work-support.html' title='It&apos;s illegal for women to work, support family'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-8432375874732280929</id><published>2010-12-03T03:25:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-25T09:33:12.389+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Nails Hammered into 'Thief's Leg...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;LAHORE: Some influential people hammered nails into a boy’s legs after subjecting him to brutal torture in Moro, a private TV channel reported on Monday. Some influential people captured 11-year-old Mehtab, an orphan, near old railway station in Moro. They accused him of theft, and instead of reporting the matter to police they ruthlessly tortured the boy before hammering iron nails into one of his legs. The cries of the boy attracted the attention of his neighbours who rescued and transferred him to the hospital. Due to his critical condition, the boy was referred to the Nawabshah Hospital. Moro SHO said that the boy’s neighbours took him to the hospital in a critical condition, but none of his relatives had come to register a case. Judicial Magistrate Sohail Ahmed took suo moto notice of the incident and ordered the local police to immediately arrest the culprits. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010\10\26\story_26-10-2010_pg7_8" target="_blank"&gt;Daily Times&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Dontcha just love Islam&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-8432375874732280929?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/8432375874732280929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=8432375874732280929&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/8432375874732280929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/8432375874732280929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2010/12/nails-hammered-into-leg.html' title='Nails Hammered into &amp;#39;Thief&amp;#39;s Leg...'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-7626715278733920444</id><published>2010-11-18T04:27:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-26T09:44:36.436+03:00</updated><title type='text'>SOMALI AN PIRATES CAN CLAIM UK ASYLUM :</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;THE Royal Navy, once the scourge of brigands on the high seas, has been told by the Foreign Office not to detain pirates because doing so may &lt;strong&gt;breach their human rights&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;#160; Warships patrolling pirate-infested waters, such as those off Somalia, have been warned that there is also a risk that captured pirates could claim asylum in Britain.

In the past few months, &lt;strong&gt;Saudi newspapers have highlighted several cases in which young girls were married off to much older men &lt;/strong&gt;or very young boys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the mufti's pronouncements are respected and provide guidance, the government is not legally bound by them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday, the government-run Human Rights Commission condemned marriages of minor girls, saying such marriages are an "inhumane violation" and rob children of their rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The commission's statement followed a ruling by a court in Oneiza in central Saudi Arabia last month that &lt;strong&gt;dismissed a divorce petition by the mother of an eight-year-old girl whose father married her off to a man in his 50s.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newspaper reports said the court argued that &lt;strong&gt;the mother did not have the right to file such a case on behalf of her daughter&lt;/strong&gt; and said that &lt;strong&gt;the petition should be filed by the girl when she reaches puberty.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responding to a question about parents who force their underage daughters to marry, the mufti said: "We hear a lot about the marriage of underage girls in the media, and &lt;strong&gt;we should know that Islamic law has not brought injustice to women."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mufti said a good upbringing will make a girl capable of carrying out her duties as a wife and that those who say women should not marry before the age of 25 are following a "bad path."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our mothers and before them, our grandmothers, married when they were barely 12," said Al Sheikh, according to Al-Hayat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no statistics to show how many marriages involving children are performed in Saudi Arabia every year. And it's also not clear whether these unions are on the rise or whether people are hearing about them more now because of the prevalence of media outlets and easy access to the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Activists say the girls are given away in return for hefty dowries or as a result of long-standing custom in which a father promises his infant daughters and sons to cousins out of a belief that marriage will protect them from illicit relationships.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-4581489794131266463?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/4581489794131266463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=4581489794131266463&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/4581489794131266463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/4581489794131266463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2009/12/saudi-arabia.html' title='SAUDI ARABIA'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-115934806644336245</id><published>2006-09-27T12:04:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-09-27T12:07:46.453+03:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Some years ago I firmly believed that if you give someone with no hope something to live for they wouldn’t feel so inclined to be suicide-bombers.

You cannot fight that! A 10 year old school girl sees her career as a suicide-bomber. You cannot fight that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Irrespective of how you cut it, the ideology that is Islam brain washes vulnerable people. Like it or not whatever the circumstances a mind can be turned to evil at the drop of a hat. It helps that the mind being turned is already captured by the Quran, by the purveyors of this evil, by the ideology bought to this world by a sex crazed, violent paedophile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the world afford any kind of religion? I very much doubt it. It is only in places where they have nothing that religion has a stronghold. It is the need for human reliance on something other than their own abilities and the mullahs take advantage of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religion is about controlling the masses.

I also know for fact that many of those people have pictures and videos of children as young as 6/7/8 being penetrated and used as sex toys, on their mobile phones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have often voiced my opinion to their superiors and been told, "They are still young boys, they will get over it".  These 'young boys' were 20-30 years old. But that is of no matter, the fact is that many muslims of my aquaintance have illegal images on the mobiles and the 'elders' see nothing wrong with that. Islam is practicing instutionalised peadophillia. It is an accepted fact that 50% of children in certain countries are abused by family members, be that mentally physically or sexually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently a young girl was murdered by her mother, because she was pregnant. This girl had bought shame on the family. The fact that she was raped by her brother was not shameful.

The venture was a resounding success. The global up roar in the Muslim world was totally unexpected. Many hundreds of Muslims died is the backlash of protests. And for what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Islam it is against the law to depict the holiest of holy paedophiles in a drawing of any kind. This amounts to idolatry, in itself a big NO NO. It has never been against the law to do this in the west.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask, why is it that in every Middle Eastern country are there pictures of the King/President/prime minister/terrorist leader etc plastered all over the place. Large pictures of the current incumbent line the streets. Large edifices adorn the public places. I am sure we all remember the images of the statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled in Baghdad What is different about these people? Nothing. They, because of their position within their society, are adored and 'worshipped', albeit often in an enforced fashion, in a similar way that the holiest of holies is worshipped. Idolatry rules and the debacle over a few cartoons can be seen as a smoke screen to cover other much more sinister agendas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hassan Nasrallah is one such character that will go down it history as a 'Saviour'. This bigoted Arab will not stop until Israel has been crushed. He has said as much on many occasions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time he is the 'darling' of the people. He will be held high in esteem for some time to come. And how is he going to achieve this given that the recent war was all his doing? Currently in Lebanon a million people are displaced because of his warring actions. So to some he is not too popular. Already aid that should be given by the government is coming from Hizballah. Up to $1200 is being given to each family to help them restart their lives, lives that he destroyed! He is buying the people with money from the Iranian government. Within 5 years we will probably see, what is in effect, a Taliban society in Lebanon. The Taliban you will remember are hardliner Islam extremists who seek to oppress its people in the most draconian of ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran are such people and they fund Hizballah to the tune of $300 million each year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-115597218439911659?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/115597218439911659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=115597218439911659&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115597218439911659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115597218439911659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/08/idolatry.html' title='Idolatry'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-115589366479737434</id><published>2006-08-18T12:33:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-08-18T12:34:24.796+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Pedophile ?</title><content type='html'>What are the essential features of pedophilia.? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professors of psychiatry, Harold I.Kaplan MD and Benjamin J.Sadock MD. of New York University Medical School states the essential features to diagnose pedophilia are: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Identification with and narcissistic investment in immature sexual objects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muhammad's infatuation and relationship with Aisha fits this criterion. And Mohammad was vain too - he liked to use perfume and dye his hair (even as an old man). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Control, domination and seduction of children. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A slight recalcitrance on the part of his wives was met by intolerant threats like: "if he (Muhammad) divorce you, (Allah) will give him in your place wives better than you, submissive, faithful, obedient, penitent, adorers, fasters, widows and virgins." [K 66.5] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Sexual activity with children is preferential and occur repeatedly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aisha was ever present, right up to his last fatal breath and he preferred spending his nights with her. Aisha became Muhammad's favorites wife. And the sexuality in the relationship was predominant.

If the man penetrates and damages the child then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her  life. This girl, however does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girls sister. &lt;br /&gt;[...] &lt;br /&gt;It is better for a girl to marry in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prophet Say: Marry Young Virgins &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volume 7, Book 62, Number 17: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I got married, Allah's Apostle said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the young virgins and for fondling them?" Jabir also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silent Children : &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volume 7, Book 62, Number 67: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated Abu Huraira: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How can we know her permission?" &lt;strong&gt;He said, "Her silence&lt;/strong&gt; (indicates her permission)." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where sex is akin to a crime, silence is admission of your guilt. What a corruption of "fitrah" ( human nature). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What religion condones the destruction of childhood? What are we who daily avow our undying love for Allah to do against a system that ruthlessly oppresses its youngest and brightest ?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated 'Aisha: I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, BUT the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is, however, very unlikely that Muhammad would have waited for the onset of the menses; or at most it could have been just after the 1st drops. The evidence is necessarily indirect. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# His strong desire to "graze of the (tree) of which nothing has been eaten before", as his other wives had not been virgins. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# Menses or fasting do not reduce Muhammad's desire and potency for sex. His nightly rounds to his wives(lastly 12-13) did require more than average potency. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# New additions to his harem lead to intensive sexual activity, e.g. arrival of Maria lead to increased, initial spurt of sexual activity to the neglect of others . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# The intervals between prayers are used for quick stands "I used to wash the traces of Janaba (semen) from the clothes of the Prophet and he used to go for prayers while traces of water were still on it."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-115589352626481477?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/115589352626481477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=115589352626481477&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115589352626481477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115589352626481477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/08/just-so-you-know.html' title='Just so you know'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-115455524201642288</id><published>2006-08-03T00:44:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-08-03T00:49:04.423+03:00</updated><title type='text'>An Israeli speaks</title><content type='html'>I live in Israel, a state in the middle east. My state hasn't seen a lot of serenity moments. I rarely watch the TV without hearing about violence. Violence-that's the name of the game here in the Middle East. I can't remember if I passed one peacefull year…… no there is none.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The experts says that the people in Israel are more nervous and worried than in other places in the world. When you see terror attacks constantly, when you hear smell and feel the news every day almost hour after hour that means you are nervous.&lt;br /&gt;That means you are uncertain, unsure, about the future and what's coming ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something about three weeks ago, my country was attacked by hostile terror organization. Hezbollah- the God party as is literaly says. how can such a group represent God? Is it God way to kill and destroy everything in your way in order to achieve your goals? I don't know, maybe it is. If so many people in the middle east and around the world are adopting this way maybe there is something here that I haven't revealed yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fatal mistake&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there is war, a war between the war mongers and Israel. People die in wars, it's a conventional routine. The Hizbolla thought that Israel would  continue with it's restraint policy towards them and their stings from time to time in the border.&lt;br /&gt;Why did he think so? Because Israel was on a new path  and the government wanted to put all it's efforts into solving the Gaza strip issue. Because it was a relatively calm period of time and the Israeli economy started to show green lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nasralla did a fatal mistake, he thought Israel will respond reservedly once again, he didn't estimate the new leadership and he should have. He should have thought about the new leader who would like to prove himself worthy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also thought that the people will refuse to enter a war, he knows that the israeli people doesn't want victims, he doesn't care about his people life, and they doesn't care either. The fundamentalistic way of the shiite believer is blind. Dying is the highest level of spirituality but he was wrong all along. The Israeli people have suffered constantly from the Lebanese missle threat, especially those who live close to the northern border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people want to remove this threat, permanently and live in peace and quiet. Now because of the radicalism of one group who decided it can attack without being punished the Lebanese people suffer, the Israeli people suffer, everyone suffers. The Lebanese have just kicked Syria out, they could start over and establish a democracy, but the Hizbolla has ruined everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The strategic point&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hizbollah is financed by Iran. This radical country supports and encourages the  Hizbollah and other terror groups. Iran wants to be a major factor in the region, they resist the western world and want to influence the region and spread their belief. They help Syria and Hizbolla in the struggle againts Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the other side, there is the United States of America which wants to establish democracies in the world and in this case this war is serving their interests. The American way says that democracies bring stability. Meanwhile they tried to do it in Afganistan, and aslo in Iraq and the people seem to refuse to accept this ideology.&lt;br /&gt;Iran wants a status others have but she hasn't. The threat of a nuclear bomb. That seem frightening for a second, considering the last declarations of ahmadinajad who called to wipe Israel of the map.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel won't allow Iran to reach such a point and hitting the Hizbolla means hitting the Iranians. The USA knows it, that's why Israel has got time to breath, time to leave accepted facts.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-115455524201642288?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/115455524201642288/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=115455524201642288&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115455524201642288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115455524201642288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/08/israeli-speaks.html' title='An Israeli speaks'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-115433812689633936</id><published>2006-07-31T12:12:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-08-01T22:38:41.500+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Today in Lebanon</title><content type='html'>Today in Lebanon scenes of Lebanese attacking a UN compound.

Many don't survive.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note also the husband was an educated man so this cannot be put down to tribal ignorance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-115415252820145372?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/115415252820145372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=115415252820145372&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115415252820145372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115415252820145372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/07/woman-sentenced-for-treating-maid-as.html' title='Woman sentenced for treating maid as a slave'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-115407674269585984</id><published>2006-07-28T11:49:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-07-28T11:52:22.706+03:00</updated><title type='text'>The Silence Is Deafening</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;From an email I recieved.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sure by now you have heard what happened to the brave American soldiers that were ambushed and taken hostage recently just south of Baghdad. These brave young men who volunteered to defend our country were murdered, tortured and butchered in the most horrendous way imaginable. Their eyes were gouged out, arms and legs broken, their private parts cut off and shoved in their mouths and finally their hearts were cut out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is the outrage? Where is the protest about their human rights having been violated? Where is the ACLU? Shouldn't there be a nationwide outrage at what was done to these brave young men? Shouldn't there be, instead of talk about deadlines to withdraw, a renewed nationwide effort to wipe out this vile, despicable, murderous evil once and for all?  Isn't it time that we let out all the stops and use whatever method necessary to eliminate the bastards that did this once and for all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is our American media, from sea to shining sea, outrage at this barbaric, cowardly atrocity? Shouldn't there be protests in every American city calling for the heads of those responsible? Shouldn't this act rally all Americans to unite and defeat this evil? The attorneys concerned about the human rights of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay (suspected Al- associates), now that brave American soldiers have been murdered, where is their outrage? Why do they remain silent? Are they more concerned about the rights of the enemy than they are our hometown heroes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am ashamed of what this country is becoming. The "Greatest Generation" those who fought in World War Two and those who supported their country in other ways during that time would never have sat silently for such a barbaric act. Yet, I see no concerted effort to encourage our government and our armed forces that we Americans support any effort, any method, to catch and punish those responsible, and those who support or aid those responsible. Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it time we, as a Nation, the Greatest, most powerful Nation on Earth, stop allowing ourselves to be sucker punched and take it to these murderous bastards in any way, shape or form that will get the job done? Isn't it time we begin a campaign to wipe off the face of the earth these Islamic militants that have twisted their religion to allow the murder of innocent men, women and children?  I, as an American citizen, encourage our government and our military to use any method necessary to defeat once and for all this evil, including the wholesale and widespread use of every weapon in our arsenal.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-115407674269585984?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/115407674269585984/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=115407674269585984&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115407674269585984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115407674269585984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/07/silence-is-deafening.html' title='The Silence Is Deafening'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-115324885941134488</id><published>2006-07-18T21:35:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T22:27:28.216+03:00</updated><title type='text'>It's no wonder</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When you read somethings you have to wonder why we allow these people to be part of the real world. This story will blow your mind, I promise you that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to the Ministry of Interior, al-Naqshabandi's death sentence was reviewed by the Appeals Committee (hay'at al-tamiz) and the Higher Judicial Council, who on December 2, 1996, ordered the sentence to be carried out. Al-Naqshabandi was executed Friday, December 13, 1996, almost three years after his arrest. Contrary to usual practice, there appears to have been no court session for either the conviction or the sentencing, and apparently al-Naqshabandi did not even know that he had been sentenced to death.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; Family members and friends who visited al-Naqshabandi in prison on Monday and Tuesday, December 9 and 10, 1996, say that he was in good spirits and promised them that he would be released soon. Indeed, al-Naqshabandi's wife only learned that her husband had been executed when she was telephoned by his brother, who had read it in a newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In announcing the execution, the Ministry of Interior charged that al-Naqshabandi "undertook the practice of works of magic and spells and possession of a collection of polytheistic and superstitious books."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; It then justified the execution by arguing that "in view of what magic and witchcraft produce in the way of serious damages to the individual and society with respect to religion, the soul, money and rationality, [and] in that what the defendant did has in it great harm worthy of the severe punishment that cuts short his evil and deters others, it was decided he be sentenced to the discretionary punishment of death."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the rest of the whole barbaric story &lt;a href="http://www.hrw.org/reports/1997/saudi/Saudi-06.htm"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you will have noticed so far is that Al-Naqshabandi was charged with the fact that he &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;"undertook the practice of works of magic and spells and possession of a collection of polytheistic and superstitious books."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Are they serious? Yes they are! He never knew that he had been convicted. He never knew that the death sentence was passed. His family found out about the execution from the news papers. They didn't shoot him they didn't hang him or give him a lethal injection they took his head of with a sword.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now tell me why we expect the current troubles in the Middle East to end. These people are stone age tribal warriors they should not be expected to be anything else but barbarians and should be treated as such.

Pakistan's Constitution and legislation bounds the all-state apparatus to protect children. But due to non-implementation of the law, violence against children is increasing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report was released on June 4, the eve of the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression; it compiled published cases in print media or research found in alternative authentic sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NGO's researchers collected facts from 26 national and local newspapers in Urdu, English and Sindhi, and found cases of aggression against weak sections of the society, notably children and women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report findings show a persistent upward trend in the cases of violence against children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2000, the print media acknowledged 130 cases of child homicide, in 2001 the tally reached 484; in 2002 it was 649; in 2003 newspapers displayed 726 cases of child murder; in 2004 the gory figures reached 766; and last year media reports divulged 934 brutal cases of child murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The callous child killing continues this year as media reports have already displayed more than 300 cases of aggression against children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The print as well as electronic media recently reported the shocking murder of a 14-year-old girl, Noor Jehan, who was a target of a so-called "honor-killing" phenomenon, which is widespread in rural areas of Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These cruel incidents show the high level of extremism in rural parts of the country, where such act of aggression against girls has become a routine rather than the exception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report informed that child abuse is now in the spotlight of global attention, as an unprecedented endorsement from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) shows an interest of member states to protect children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in developing countries like Pakistan, lack of political will and resources are the major factors in strict implementation of CRC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other heinous crimes like kidnapping and sexual violence against innocent children are also increasing in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The print media has acknowledged more than 2,000 rape cases against minor girls and 1,800 cases of sodomy against boys during the last six years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report claims that more than 17,000 children were kidnapped during last six years and the basic motives behind were old enmity, ransom, and sexual exploitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government has shown no interest to compile statistics about violence against children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some citizens have demanded their government keep records or profiles of either the victims, or even more important, a profile of the perpetrators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crimes against children took place in all parts of the country; however, the majority of the cases appeared to be from Sindh and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noted human rights lawyer Zia Awan urged the government to adopt a comprehensive policy for the strict implementation of (CRC), the 2000 Juvenile Justice System Ordinance and the 1955 Sindh Children Act to protect the children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He demanded the courts should take notice of all cases of child physical and sexual abuse and stressed the establishment of crisis centers for children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awan also called on national and provincial legislators to play their due role and make child-friendly laws for the betterment of future generations.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-115245787769811414?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/115245787769811414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=115245787769811414&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115245787769811414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/115245787769811414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/07/if-you-hav-any-doubts.html' title='If you hav  any doubts.............'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-114938925943400673</id><published>2006-06-04T05:43:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-06-04T05:50:06.283+03:00</updated><title type='text'>On the Boycott of Denmark</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;(I am including this whole article published on the internet &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.islamway.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'ISLAM WAY'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

On the one hand, this saddened those Muslims who rose in defense of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, using the weapon of boycott (to the Danish products). On the other hand, this gratified the Danish companies and those who sympathized with and supported them. All this has taken place while the Danish government still insists that there will be no change in their stance or reaction towards the event, reflecting a high level of indifference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, we advise all Muslims, especially businessmen and companies, to continue their boycott because it is a very powerful weapon which has proved that it can prevent the aggressors from further aggression, and has made the country of Denmark an example that deters many other countries (from repeating the Danish mistake), in addition to uniting the Muslims on a large scale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also advise our brothers who called for lifting of the boycott against the Danish companies to reconsider their statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ask Allaah to guide us all to that which He loves and is pleased with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signed by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaykh ’Abdur-Rahmaan bin Naasir Al-Barraak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaykh ’Abdullaah bin ’Abdur-Rahmaan Al-Jibreen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaykh ’Abdul-’Azeez bin ’Abdullaah Al-Raajihi&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-114938925943400673?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/114938925943400673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=114938925943400673&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/114938925943400673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/114938925943400673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/06/on-boycott-of-denmark.html' title='On the Boycott of Denmark'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-114925037385486153</id><published>2006-06-02T15:10:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-06-02T15:17:38.060+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Fix it, it's easy</title><content type='html'>The Arab News contains a section once a week where people can ask questions about matters of Saudi Law specifically Labour Law and questions relating to work permits (Iqama) and passports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This appeared recently:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Up until now I haven't received my new Iqama from my sponsor. He has returned SR 4,000 to me and asked me to find another way to solve my problem. I came to know that there was no record of my Iqama in the Passport Departments computer system. How can I retrieve the rest of my money which I gave to my sponsor to get me a new Iqama?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The problem here is simple, anyone can act as a sponsor, most are at best shady many totally disreputable. Reading the above query what immediately hit me is that an Iqama costs less then SR 1000. It only takes 2/3 days to get one. This man has paid more than SR 4000 of which only SR 4000 has been returned. I know my maid pays SR 8000 for her Iqama. With 6 million expats (many of whom have only basic education and no street smarts), the system is a licence to print money.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police make little effort to check these con artists and when caught a slap on the wrist is normally the punisment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solution is simple. Open an office at the airports and start the processing there. It is totaly unfair to allow this situation to continue. People come here for one reason and they are prey to unscrupulous people that dont give a rat's arse that it is against the law and more important against Islam which they purport to hold so dear.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-114925037385486153?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/114925037385486153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=114925037385486153&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/114925037385486153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/114925037385486153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/06/fix-it-its-easy.html' title='Fix it, it&apos;s easy'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-114921402334089040</id><published>2006-06-02T04:52:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-06-02T15:19:06.910+03:00</updated><title type='text'>What an arsehole!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I have heard this story from a source that has promised me a copy of the newspaper that it came from.

And you have to pay for it. If the company doesn't exercise their responsibility and get you an Exit Visa (or Exit/Re-entry Visa if you are coming back) you are a prisoner, you cannot leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like all countries you need a work permit. Well imagine this DIFA O&amp;amp;M Co have people working with expired Iqamas (work permits). Not only that some of the later arrivals are working on expired visit visas, totally illegal. Visas and work permits are the responsibility of the company, but if you are caught by the police it is you that gets thrown in gaol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Australian acquaintance has been here 8 months, his visit visa ran out in February. He is in legal terms an overstayer and will be subject to deportation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So his situation is such that he has found employment with another company who will provide him with the proper paperwork but they can only do this if he is outside Saudi Arabia. His problem is that without a current visit visa or Igama he cannot get an exit visa to leave the country. Catch 22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having spoken to his embassy it has been determined that if he turns himself in he will pay a fine (about $100) and get 5 days to get out. This suits him fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So on Wednesday he arrives at the police station with an embassy official in tow. They talk to the Major and he gives them some paperwork to fill in. With the paperwork done and $100 in his hand he is ready to be given his deportation papers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The officer said it's past 12 o'clock come back tomorrow. &lt;strong&gt;Can you believe they don't arrest people after 12.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If ever the world needed a global village idiot this country is a contender.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27316783-114859284007948321?l=the-blogger-man.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/feeds/114859284007948321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27316783&amp;postID=114859284007948321&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/114859284007948321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27316783/posts/default/114859284007948321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-blogger-man.blogspot.com/2006/05/believe-it-or-not.html' title='Believe it or not!'/><author><name>Maffi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8GlWYXT9zzg/Sr3ozB2I5fI/AAAAAAAABuI/EZLdjbajIFU/S220/P1010050.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27316783.post-114859125350326248</id><published>2006-05-26T00:01:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-05-26T00:07:33.510+03:00</updated><title type='text'>They are at it gain</title><content type='html'>As an addendum to the last story the same company has compounds in Al Kharg for Filipino and Pakistani workers.
