"They cannot control their anger, they take knives and slaughter." Religion of Tolerance -- and Clear Thinking.
"Nigeria: Can Condemns Religious Killing in Kano," by John Shiklam for the Daily Champion (Lagos), with thanks to Twostellas:
GENERAL Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Mr Samuel Salifu has condemned the killing of Christians in Tudun Dankande local government area of Kano State.He called on the state government to bring the perpetrators to book, warning that Christians would no longer condone any attack on them.
Salifu who spoke with newsmen in Kaduna weekend said that reports reaching him from Kano state said there was trouble in Tudun Dankande local government area of the state Friday where nine Christians, including a youth corper serving in the area were killed and their property destroyed over an internet cartoon said to have emanated from a 20-year-old Muslim boy from Bangladesh.
"Information available to me is that almost all the churches within that local government area have been razed down and shops belonging to Christians had also been burnt including their houses. We have been told that they have been ejected and their property brought down and burnt.
"The information given was that they saw a cartoon on the internet and they discovered that this cartoon was drawn by a 20-year-old Muslim boy from Bangladesh and they decided to visit their anger on innocent Christians and their churches.
"I have been told that nine people including a youth corper are confirmed dead and several others injured while the local government in a desperate attempt to cover the dastardly act pretended to be taking the victims to the hospital while in reality they sent some of the victims to Bauchi and some other places around so that people will not go there and see the number of destitutes or refugees caused by this incident.
"That is the information available, so far. What we have done is to ensure that the vice president is informed," he alleged.
He said Christians and their leaders were getting worried because both the Christian leaders and Muslims had been holding series of meetings within and outside the Nigerian Inter Religious Council (NIREC) to see how to bring about peaceful coexistence between followers of the two religions. Salifu regretted, however, that "the more we continue to meet with Muslim leaders the more some of these people attack our people.
[...]
"It is clear that the cartoonist is from Bangladesh and he is a Muslim, so why should they now visit their anger on Christians unless they are lunatics and if you call them this type of name, they say they are angry, but they go killing.
"They cannot control their anger, they take knives and slaughter. When you tell them what they are doing is wrong, they will turn round and start to kill. Very soon, there would be a lot of blood shed unless they stop this nonsense because the church is getting fed up.

These Iranian teenagers were executed on July 19, 2005. Initial posthere.

Here’s a video documentary in three parts from Canada’s CBC, on the Iranian gay scene and the appalling, barbaric treatment to which they are routinely subjected.

These young men who are being hanged are homosexuals, and this is the punishment for their crime of being caught in the act of having sexual relations with each other. Of course this does not stop the mullahs of Iran making advances on little boys, including kissing 7 year old boys on the mouth.
Next monthwe'll see a massive protest. (ViaJunk Yard.)
During the week of October 22-26, 2007, the nation will be rocked by the biggest conservative campus protest ever – Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a wake-up call for Americans on 200 university and college campuses.

A leader of a Sunni Arab tribal council which opposed al-Qaeda in Iraq has been killed in a roadside bomb attack north of Baghdad, Iraqi officials have said.
Sheikh Muawiya Jebara, a senior member of the Salahuddin Awakening Council, and three of his bodyguards were killed as his convoy travelled near Samarra.
His death comes less than a month after the killing of the head of a similar group in neighbouring Anbar province.
Meanwhile, the Shia mayor of Iskandariya died in a separate bombing.
Abbas al-Khafaji, a member of the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC), and four of his bodyguards were killed when a roadside bomb exploded near their car at a checkpoint, police said.
A mixed Sunni-Shia town 40km (25 miles) south of the capital, Iskandariya lies in a centre of the Sunni insurgency known as the "triangle of death".
Tribal alliance
The attack on Sheikh Muawiya Jebara occurred in mid-afternoon as he travelled to an area south-west of Samarra to support other members of the Salahuddin Awakening Council who were currently fighting al-Qaeda in Iraq.
The sheikh survived the initial blast, but died from head injuries shortly after arriving in hospital, his brother said.
The head of the Tikrit-based Salahuddin Awakening Council, Sheikh Sabah Mutashar al-Shammari, recently said the tribal alliance had conducted more than 100 operations against Sunni extremist militants.
"Our forces are working in co-ordination with the ministers of defence and interior," he told the AFP news agency.
"Our troops consist of 3,000 fighters distributed across seven headquarters in the province."
Last month, the leader of the Anbar Awakening, Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Risha, was killed in a bomb attack near his home in Ramadi.
US officials have pointed to the formation of the tribal alliances as one of the most positive developments in their efforts to reduce violence in Iraq.
MP arrested
In other news, the US military said it had taken an Iraqi member of parliament into custody after he allegedly attended a meeting of suspected al-Qaeda members.
The MP was seized during a joint raid by US and Iraqi forces in the town of Sharqat, north of Baghdad.
The main Sunni Arab alliance in parliament, the Iraqi Accord Front, said the man was one of its members, Naif Jassim Mohammed.
The US military said the man was being questioned by the authorities, but was not formally considered to be a detainee.
Later, parliament agreed to let the Iraqi Accord Front replace another of its MPs with one of the country's most famous football stars.
Ahmed Radhi, the only Iraqi player to have scored in the World Cup, replaced Abed Nasser al-Janabi, who was expelled from parliament in June after saying he was leaving politics to join the insurgency.
The Egyptian government is going to pay for Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed's defense and they've hired John Fitzgibbons, the same man who defended Debra Lafave.
I'm not sure how Mohamed is going to plead not guilty after admitting to putting up a video on YouTube which explained how to turn a remote control toy into an IED detonator along with a note about how he hoped this would help the mujahidin. Maybe he'll use the Chewbacca defense?
A prominent Florida defense lawyer says Egypt's government is going to hire him to represent a University of South Florida college student charged with making an Internet video showing how to use remote-controlled toys to detonate terrorist bombs.
John Fitzgibbons said Wednesday that Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed will plead not guilty next month to of distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction. His accomplice, Youssef Samir Megahed plead not guilty today.
