For critics of Islam,"sharia" becomes shorthand for extremism (Barf)

Protesters of the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero waved signs there this past Sunday with a single word: Sharia. Their reference to Islam's guiding principles has become a rallying cry for those critical of Islam, who use it to conjure images of public stonings and other extreme forms of punishment in countries such as Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan and argue that those tenets are somehow gaining a foothold in the United States. Blogs are proliferating with names like Creeping Sharia and Stop Sharia Now. A pamphlet for a "tea party" rally last weekend in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. asked:...

Prison Guards Take Convicted Rapist to Sex Shop

In a 2007 study, it was determined that Sweden was the least religious country in the world. Another words up to 85% of the Swedish citizens were either a non-believer, atheist, or an agnostic. Which explains the lack of sexual morals in the way the Swedish people live their lives. Culturally, Sweden is one of the most sexually immoral countries in the world. An accusation they claim to be unfair, because in their eyes they are just being sexually free. However, I am now convinced that the criminally insane perverts are now running things in Sweden. What else can...

"There were some white people there. The mayor (of Douglas) was there," Sherrod recalled. "Why would I do something racist if they were there?"

Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel. "When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help...

Feingold To Vote 'No' On Wall Street Reform

Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold voted against the Senate version of the Wall Street reform bill last month and now says he will again oppose the measure when the conference report is put up for a vote. “As I have indicated for some time now, my test for the financial regulatory reform bill is whether it will prevent another crisis," Feingold said in a released statement. "The conference committee's proposal fails that test and for that reason I will not vote to advance it."
