URUMQI, China — Mobs of Han Chinese wielding meat cleavers and clubs and groups of Muslim Uighur men beat people in the streets of the capital of China's Xinjiang region Tuesday. The government imposed a curfew as it tried to stem communal violence after a riot that killed at least 156 people. Members of the Muslim Uighur ethnic group attacked people near the Urumqi's railway station, and women in headscarves protested the arrests of husbands and sons in another part of the city. Meanwhile, for much of the afternoon, a mob of 1,000 mostly young Han Chinese holding clubs and...

Suspect in Utah Killings Fled Bosnia War Teen Suspect in Utah Killings Fled War in Homeland of Bosnia As a Child, Neighbors Say The Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - The Bosnian teen who killed five shoppers at a Salt Lake City mall fled the war in his homeland at age 10, neighbors and friends said Wednesday. Sulejman Talovic, an 18-year-old immigrant fatally shot by police after Monday's rampage, was only 4 when he and his mother fled their village of Talovici on foot after Serbian forces overran it in 1993, people close to the family told The Associated Press.Talovic...

IT WAS front-page news this week when Newsweek retracted a report claiming that a US interrogator in Guantanamo had flushed a copy of the Koran down a toilet. Everywhere it was noted that Newsweek's story had sparked widespread Muslim rioting, in which at least 17 people were killed. But there was no mention of deadly protests triggered in recent years by comparable acts of desecration against other religions. No one recalled, for example, that American Catholics lashed out in violent rampages in 1989, after photographer Andres Serrano's ''Piss Christ" -- a photograph of a crucifix submerged in urine -- was...

Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, will be presented with a Man of Peace award by ex-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Wednesday. The 57-year-old, who was refused entry to the US on security grounds two months ago, is due to accept the honour at a ceremony in Rome. The Gorbachev Foundation said it was for his dedication to promoting peace and condemning terrorism. Past winners include Italian film director Roberto Benigni.

• Islam was born in war and grew the same way. From the time of Mohammed, the means of Muslim expansion was always the sword. • With enormous energy, the warriors of Islam struck out against the Christians shortly after Mohammed's death. Palestine, Syria, and Egypt -- once the most heavily Christian areas in the world -- quickly succumbed. • By the eighth century, Muslim armies had conquered all of Christian North Africa and Spain. In the eleventh century, the Seljuk Turks conquered Asia Minor (modern Turkey), which had been Christian since the time of St. Paul. • The Byzantine...

POTENTIAL HOT SPOTS: Thailand's Islamic Revolution Continues July 18, 2004: The Moslem separatist violence in Thailand continues, with two members of the ISOC (Internal Security Operations Command) were shot in the south while investigating Moslem separatists. There have been attacks against other government officials, especially teachers. As a result, 5,000 school teachers and other government officials in the Moslem areas of southern Thailand have demanded more protection, or transfers to other, safer, parts of the country. So far this year, over 300 have died from the violence in the Moslem south, most of them government officials or non-Moslem Thais. At...

In southern Spain, once the centre of an Islamic civilisation in Europe, the Muslim community has appealed to the Vatican to be allowed to pray alongside Christians in what was once the Great Mosque of Cordoba.It is one of the oldest buildings in the Islamic world and one of the most beautiful.

I felt that I was already back in the Middle Ages making my way towards the entrance of the mosque itself. The interior is stunning - a symmetrical forest of...

U.S. TV Avoids Graphic Iraq Images Wed Mar 31, 9:36 PM ET By LYNN ELBER, AP Television Writer LOS ANGELES - Macabre images of four American contractors killed in Iraq (news - web sites) filled television screens worldwide Wednesday but were largely shunned by American television that deemed them too graphic. etwork and cable newscasts planned judicious use of the video, which included images of the victims' charred bodies dragged through the street and two of them hanging from a bridge.

DAY OF INFAMY 2001 Arab translators cheered Sept. 11FBI Whistleblower: 'Questions of loyalty' tainted interpretation of al-Qaida chatter Posted: January 7, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern By Paul Sperry© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON -- In a shocking revelation, an FBI whistleblower claims some Arab-Americans translating Arabic intercepts for the FBI spoke approvingly of the terrorist attacks on America more than two years ago. Former FBI translator Sibel D. Edmonds says translators of Middle Eastern origin working for the FBI's Washington field office maintain an "us"-versus-"them" attitude that's so strong it may be compromising al-Qaida investigations. She cited examples of mistranslations and security breaches within the...

Cardinal: Christians Second-Class in Muslim Lands Few non-Muslims in America seem to recognize the realities of the institutionalized oppression that non-Muslims must endure under Islamic law. But the Vatican seems to be becoming quite aware of these realities: "Too many Islamic countries treat their Christian minorities as second-class citizens and bar them from building churches while Western states let their Muslims build mosques freely, according to a senior Vatican official." This from Reuters, with thanks to Nancy Block. "Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, who recently retired as the Vatican's foreign minister, told the French Catholic daily La Croix Wednesday that Christianity and...

EVEN if we were not attempting to prosecute a war against terror, the time would have long since arrived to reconsider our relations with Saudi Arabia. That the Saudis, of all people, should now be regarded as a virtual ally in this conflict only underscores the need at last to settle matters between us. Although the catalog of disagreements on our agenda is long, and many of the items are by now familiar, it is helpful to review the list. BY ANY modern standard of civilization, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a bizarre place. In an age of spreading...

ST.-FLORENTIN, France — From most angles, this village looks like the quaint medieval parish that tourists expect to find deep in the French countryside: half-timbered houses crowd around a stone church that overlooks rolling fields and ancient Burgundian forests. But tucked between the old buildings and the bucolic landscape, there lies another world filled with spoken Arabic, steaming couscous and the simmering frustration of idle young men born to Muslim immigrants in a deeply conservative Christian land. "Racists surround us," said Brahim Bouanani, a 26-year-old St.-Florentin native, when asked what lies down the tree-lined, two-lane highways that stretch out of...

Marisol Rivera spent Christmas Day much as she had in years past, preparing breakfast and watching as her four children excitedly opened their gifts. Yet despite the familiar ritual, the holiday now has little religious significance for the 32-year-old from Queens. Last January, Rivera converted to Islam - joining more than 30,000 Americans who make the same leap each year, helping make Islam one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States. "I felt drawn to Islam," said Rivera, fingering a gold charm that spells Allah in Arabic. "I felt it was something I could practice and apply in my...

TORONTO (Reuters) - Some Canadian Muslims will soon be able to use an Islamic tribunal to arbitrate civil disputes, bringing Muslim sharia law to a largely secular society and raising concerns about the extent to which it might be applied. Canada's Islamic Institute of Civil Justice was formed in October and plans to begin arbitrating family and business disputes early next year using Muslim personal law in Ontario. Eventually, operations will be expanded across Canada. Since arbitrators' rulings can be enforced by the courts, the development has raised eyebrows that sharia will in effect be endorsed by Canada's secular courts....

Recruits for JihadBy Peter BrookesNew York Post | December 25, 2003 'PSSSST, jihad this way," hissed the al-Qaeda recruiter, enlisting another rookie into the global terror war against the United States, our interests and supporters. After two years, al-Qaeda and its allies continue to find new foot soldiers to wage a jihad against the West. Italian police, for instance, made multiple arrests in the last few weeks related to jihadist recruiting networks for Iraq (by al-Qaeda franchise Ansar al Islam) and presumably elsewhere. The network had recruited at least 200 Islamic militants, 70 of them from Italy.Italian authorities say an...

GLOBAL JIHAD Canada preparing to enforce Islamic law - Judges will give legal sanction to disputes between MuslimsPosted: November 27, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern Canadian judges soon will be enforcing Islamic law, or Sharia, in disputes between Muslims, possibly paving the way to one day administering criminal sentences, such as stoning women caught in adultery. Muslims are required to submit to Sharia in Muslim societies but are excused in nations where they live as a minority under a non-Muslim government.

LAGOS, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Islamic militants burned to the ground thirteen churches and several houses in a remote northern Nigerian town after a Christian student was accused of blasphemy, police said on Thursday. Irate youths torched churches, houses and shops late on Tuesday in Kazaure, some 80 km (50 miles) north of Kano, a northern provincial capital where hundreds have died in religious clashes in the past three years. The dispute began when a Christian student was accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammad and a group of Muslims were not satisfied with the response of school authorities. Abubakar Sale,...

FAITH UNDER FIREIndonesia's new 'legal' jihadMuslims now take on Christians through legislation Posted: September 15, 20031:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com In the aftermath of the Bali bombing, jihadists in Indonesia have begun fighting on a new front – through government legislation designed to make life a living hell for non-Muslims, according to a Christian relief organization. Voice of the Martyrs points to a June 10 law approved by the Indonesian Parliament that requires schools with 10 or more students of any particular faith to be taught religious studies by a teacher of the same faith. The law, the group says, is...

On Thursday, “Muslims worldwide will again be watching replays of the collapse of the Twin Towers, praying to Allah.” But they won’t be praying for what you might expect: these Muslims will be asking Allah to admit into Paradise “those magnificent 19,” the September 11 terrorists. Is this more “Islamophobia” from the Right? Another venomous Orientalist caricature of Islam, begging for a rebuke from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)? Hardly. These are statements from the British radical Muslim group Al-Muhajiroun, which asserts that Muslims worldwide will also be praying on the 11th that the “reverberations” of the attacks...

Even before the Sept. 11 attacks and the crackdown that followed, American Muslim leaders generally had come to believe they had made a mistake. In 2000, they made their first unified endorsement in a presidential race, backing George W. Bush. Many thought he would take a harder line against Israel, and, based on statements he made while campaigning, would protect the rights of immigrants facing deportation. Muslims say they were disappointed on both counts. Now, feeling the additional sting of being scrutinized in the domestic hunt for terrorists, they are mobilizing to express their anger at the polls in 2004....

Islam Bashing – Enough Is EnoughAsim Mughal Presentation of Muslims & Islam was a usual pass time at Hollywood for decades. Only interrupted by the ‘commies’ or the ‘Russians.’ It is a necessity to show the evil and bad contrasted with the good. In cases of entertainment, a hero is supposed to be just that someone who triumphs over evil. However, such images do have a lasting impact beyond and outside of movie theatres. It has been nearly two years since the tragic events of 9/11. Since then we have learned a great deal on what happened, how it happened...

(CP) - The father of a Canadian terrorist suspect who was killed in a shootout with Saudi police said Friday his son was a "perfect teenager" but fell prey to extremist groups that valued his western passport, fluent English and North American education. "They tricked him," Mansour Jabarah said in a phone interview with The Canadian Press from Kuwait City. Only two hours earlier, he had received word from the Canadian Ambassador in Kuwait that his son, Abdul-Rahman Jabarah, was among the dead after Saudi police stormed a house in the town of Suweir, 900 kilometres northwest of the capital...

June 19 — An Ohio truck driver who lived a "secret double life" has admitted to meeting with Osama bin Laden and plotting with al Qaeda to launch new attacks in the United States, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today. Iyman Faris, a U.S. citizen, has pleaded guilty to two counts of providing material support to terrorists, stemming from a variety of plots against targets in the United States, including the Brooklyn Bridge.

Study Shows What Germans Think About Islam A new survey probing German attitudes towards Islam has thrown up surprising results -- many Germans are tolerant towards the religion, but wish Muslims living in the country would reciprocate the feeling. A survey commissioned by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Germany to study how people here perceive Islam is set to shake the foundations of the widespread view that western societies are uncomfortable with the religion. Called "What do the Germans Think about Islam?" the study, which involved 1,000 western Germans and just as many eastern Germans, found that almost two-thirds...

BALI, Indonesia (Reuters) - A key suspect in last year's Bali bombings told an Indonesian court on Thursday he was proud of the attack that killed whites and that it served them right. Reuters Photo Amrozi, a 40-year-old mechanic, also said he had been involved in several bombings across Indonesia including a blast outside the home of a Philippine diplomat in 2000 that killed two people.

JEDDAH, 10 May 2003 — The Shariah considers terrorism one of the most heinous crimes, says Dr. Abdullah Al-Turki, secretary-general of the Makkah-based Muslim World League. “Islam has nothing to do with terrorism and the two do not meet at any point,” he said. “We are saying this not to please anybody but out of our conviction that showing mercy and compassion to our fellow human beings is the hallmark of Islam,” he added. He said it was the duty of the Muslims to provide full support for the government in its fight against terror. Sheikh Saleh ibn Muhammad Al-Taleb,...

Sunday, 28 April, 2002, 07:15 GMT 08:15 UK Muslim mob attacks Indonesia Christians At least 12 people have been killed by a Muslim mob which attacked a Christian village in the Moluccan islands in eastern Indonesia. The violence then spread to the regional capital, Ambon city, where a bomb went off, and a centre for Christian and Muslim children and one of the city's main churches were set on fire. It is the most serious outbreak of violence in the Moluccas since a peace deal was signed by Christian and Muslim leaders in February 2002. The deal was intended to...

For years, the U.S. Postal Service has subscribed to the philosophy that “neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” But if snow, rain and heat don’t stop your mail from getting delivered, its supposed anti-Islamic (or overtly Christian or Jewish) content just might. According to “Operation Iraqi Freedom” mailing tips announced by the USPS on March 25, 2003, the following items are prohibited from being mailed to troops stationed in the Middle East: obscene articles (prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc.); any matter containing religious materials...

A MUSLIM militant group is believed to have hacked into the Hereford Diocese web-site and left pictures of dead and wounded children. Four video stills, two showing fatally injured children, possibly taken from Middle East TV war coverage, appeared on the site on Monday afternoon. Anyone visiting the church web-site would have found themselves on the Muslim Allah Akbar page, which means `Allah is the greatest'.

LOS ANGELES - Location, in politics as well as in real estate, is almost everything. When British Prime Minister Tony Blair came calling on United States President George W. Bush, America's foremost Iraq-war ally raised with Washington the tender issue of repairing badly-damaged relations with America's old Europe friends. That's not bad advice at all, of course. The friendship of Paris and Bonn is important, especially over the long run. But had it been the Malaysian prime minister or the Indonesian president visiting Camp David last week, our Texas Methodist president would have been exposed to a wholly different perspective....

March 26, 2003 Officials Say Iraqis May Have Killed Some PrisonersBy ERIC SCHMITT and DAVID E. SANGER ASHINGTON, March 25 ?

Breaking.....Hang the bastard

The enlisted man who allegedly opened fire after rolling grenades into an officers' tent on Sunday morning, killing a Lehigh Valley native, will be tried before a regular military court and likely will face the death penalty, according to legal experts. The Army has launched a formal investigation into the murder of Army Capt. Christopher Seifert, a Army captain in the 101st Airborne Division. A grenade attack followed by a round of fire took the life of the 27-year-old officer and wounded 15 other soldiers at 1:22 a.m. Sunday at Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait.

Fort Campbell, Kentucky-AP -- The soldier taken into custody after a grenade attack at a 101st Airborne Division camp in Kuwait has been identified as Sergeant Asan Akbar. But Army spokesman George Heath says the attack that left one dead and 15 wounded hasn't been linked to Akbar's Islamic faith. And he says the attack won't lead to other Muslims being barred from serving in the U-S military. Heath says an Islamic chaplain is assigned to the 101st Airborne Division in Kuwait. And he says Akbar is being allowed to say his Muslim daily prayers while he's in custody. No...
