Umm Osama, the founder of al-Qaeda's first women-only website, al-Khansa, joined several others on the programme to discuss how they renounced jihadist ideology. Among those who sought a response to this question was an imam from the Medina mosque, Saleh Ibn Awad al-Mudamsi, and the father of a young al-Qaeda suspect held in an Iraqi prison.

However, prior to this morning, I haven't. I wondered why I have heard in the media over and over again that Republicans have been referring to Michelle Obama as Barack's 'baby's mama.'

Canada's vast bitumen deposits, mostly located in northern Alberta, offer insight into the difficulty of determining what oil is, defining proved reserves, and peak production. There is little agreement on how this bitumen should be classified. Many folks do it the way World Oil does: with explanations and footnotes. One of our reasons for not classifying bitumen the same as conventional proved reserves is the fact that it presently relies on large amounts of natural gas and water for extraction and processing, as well as...

The county commissioners voted to send Tallahassee commissioners ballot language for a proposed referendum, but that doesn't mean voters will have the chance to decide the issue of merging the Sheriff's Office and the Police Department. City commissioners - who so far have expressed no desire to merge the agencies - would have to agree to a dual referendum inside and outside city limits.
