Spies, Defence Force top brass - Do your job - Gower on politics - Politics - 3 News: "And I shudder to think about the resources and money spent on monitoring New Zealand's Muslim community in the years since 9/11.

But when it comes to vetting the CV of Stephen Wilce - they drop the ball completely.

There are rumours the SIS is underfunded, and slow to do its vetting. It sounds as if it may even contract it out to an outside private agency - if so, that ain't working too well.

I'm actually all for a spy agency, and one that errs on the side of caution - but it needs to do its job properly."

Coast Imam rejects Hanson option

The head of the Islamic Society of the Gold Coast said if the controversial former One Nation MP ran for the position and won, it would spell disaster for the city.
Earlier this year Ms Hanson came under fire for stipulating she would not sell her Coleyville home to a Muslim, but Imam Husain said no Muslim would want to buy her property anyway.....More than 20,000 Middle-Eastern people visited the Gold Coast in the year ending March 2010, but Imam Husain said they could be put off if Ms Hanson became mayor. "They enjoy our beautiful facilities here, and of course our mayor has been very accommodating to these tourists," he said. "These people are good spenders, but if they know of someone who is not so kind to them and has this biased attitude towards Muslims, then obviously they are going to look for some other destination. "Emotionally, some people may say 'that's good, we don't need these Muslims', but practically it's not good for the Gold Coast."

Arab jailed for sex with Israeli woman

A Palestinian man has been convicted of rape after consensual sexual intercourse with an Israeli woman who believed he was Jewish because he introduced himself as "Daniel". An Israeli court made international legal history by jailing Sabbar Kashur, from East Jerusalem, for 18 months. The 30 year-old delivery man was convicted of "rape by deception" after a criminal trial that drew criticism from across Israel. Kashur was accused of misleading the woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, by introducing himself with the traditionally Jewish name when they met on a street in central Jerusalem in 2008. After striking up a conversation, they went into a nearby office block and engaged in a sexual encounter, after which Kashur quickly left.

And justice prevails! :^D 

Indonesian Muslims praying to Kenya, not Mecca, after faulty edict

"After a thorough study with some cosmography and astronomy experts, we learned they've been facing southern Somalia and Kenya," said Ma'ruf Amin, a prominent cleric of the MUI. "We've revised it now to the north-west." He said Indonesians need not worry, however. "Allah understands that humans make mistakes," he said. "Allah always hears their prayers."

I hope some of the so called "scholars" won't decree that all their prayers were void and have to be repeated again!

Fox News: Pakistan No.1 in the world in pornographic internet searches

Since the source was Fox News I had to double check the claims myself using Google Insights:
http://www.google.com/insights/

Even though the claims were true, I can easily tell it was quite biased as well, according to Google Insights 6 of the top 10 countries that search for "porn" are Western countries:
1.     Papua New Guinea    
2.     Trinidad and Tobago    
3.     United Kingdom    
4.     Ireland    
5.     Canada    
6.     New Zealand    
7.     Bangladesh    
8.     United States    
9.     Jamaica    
10.     Australia
Source: http://www.google.com/insights/search/#q=porn&cmpt=q

Moreover, ironically 6 of the top 10 countries that search for "sex" are Muslim countries:
1.       Viet Nam     
2.     Pakistan    
3.     Eritrea    
4.     Bangladesh    
5.     Sri Lanka    
6.     India    
7.     Somalia    
8.     Syria    
9.     Egypt    
10.     Yemen

Nonetheless, the article made a valid point, Pakistan was lately banning many popular websites including Facebook for offensive and blasphemous material while at the same time it's of one the top searchers for pornograhpy! This is just a total irony!

The Muslim country, which has banned content on at least 17 websites to block offensive and blasphemous material, is the world's leader in online searches for pornographic material, FoxNews.com has learned.

“You won’t find strip clubs in Islamic countries. Most Islamic countries have certain dress codes,” said Gabriel Said Reynolds, professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Notre Dame. “It would be an irony if they haven’t shown the same vigilance to pornography.”

So here's the irony: Google ranks Pakistan No. 1 in the world in searches for pornographic terms, outranking every other country in the world in searches per person for certain sex-related content.

Pakistan is top dog in searches per-person for "horse sex" since 2004, "donkey sex" since 2007, "rape pictures" between 2004 and 2009, "rape sex" since 2004, "child sex" between 2004 and 2007 and since 2009, "animal sex" since 2004 and "dog sex" since 2005, according to Google Trends and Google Insights, features of Google that generate data based on popular search terms.

The country also is tops -- or has been No. 1 -- in searches for "sex," "camel sex," "rape video," "child sex video" and some other searches that can't be printed here.

Robert Fisk: CNN was wrong about Ayatollah Fadlallah

‎"Well, he wasn't Hizbollah's man, but no matter. He was definitely a giant. A man of immense learning and jurisprudence, a believer in women's rights, a hater of "honour crimes", a critic of the theocratic system of government in Iran ..... But it just goes to show that Fadlallah – who was also a poet – can get people's backs up, even in death ..... I do believe that Fadlallah was a very serious and very important man whose constant sermons on the need for spiritual regeneration and kindness did more good than most in a country constantly flooded in a rhetoric bath. Hundreds of thousands attended his funeral in Beirut on Tuesday. I am not surprised."
