Egyptian muslim mob screaming “Allahu akbar” rapes Christian woman in broad daylight.

They’re shouting “Nasara! Nasara! Nasara!” (Christians! Christians! Christians!) as they set upon the terrified woman. And then “Allahu akbar” (Allah is greatest) and “There is no god but Allah.”

Remember: it is “hate” to oppose this savagery.

Sorry but I only believe in marriage between one person who never listens and another who never stops talking.

Sharia in action in Iran: Ahmadinejad under fire for hugging woman at Chavez funeral

The mullahs are fine with his genocidal threats against Israel, but hug a woman? That’s going too far!

“Bitter-‘sweet embrace’: Ahmadinejad slated for hugging Chavez’s relative,” fromal Arabiya, March 10 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is under the spotlight once again for another controversial move.
But this move is much “softer” than nuclear war games or the occasional lashing out at Israel or America.

This time, it’s a hug.

Ahmadinejad came under heavy criticism after a picture on Friday showed him embracing a woman at the funeral of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, according to the website of the Iranian parliament reported.

While the identity of the woman who received Ahmadinejad’s apparent act of sympathy was at first unclear, the woman appeared to be Chavez’s mother Elena Frias, according to AFP news agency.

Most of those who criticized the embrace are Iranian conservatives who staunchly supported the president during the Iranian presidential elections held in June 2008.

Iranian MP Mohammed Dehghan said, in an implicit reference to Ahmadinejad, that such an act by a prominent executive official opposes the behavior of a Muslim who is constrained by religious commitments.

Dehghan also criticized the “perverted group” - a term used by Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei’s supporters to describe the circle close to Ahmadinejad - warning of the wide spread of this group in Iran.

‘Un-Islamic’

He also called on religious scholars to seriously confront Ahmadinejad’s “un-Islamic” acts.

Former MP Hojatoleslam Mohammed Taghi Rahbar, who supported Ahmadinjed during the previous presidential elections, said the president lost control over the situation during the funeral of Chavez.

The Iranian president has previously sparked the conservatives’ outrage after he announced a national day of mourning following the death of Chavez. The move was described as “an illegal precedent.”

Prominent Shiite religious figures have called on Ahmadinejad to be better knowledgeable on his religion. They have also called on him to avoid making statements relevant to religion during the rest of his presidential term, which ends in August, to prevent stirring domestic tensions.

In his eulogy of Chavez, Ahmadinejad said the former “will come again along with Jesus Christ and Al-Imam al-Mahdi to redeem mankind.”

The statement sparked further criticism as some Iranian clerics accused Ahmadinejad of committing a sin by saying that “Chavez’s soul will return and that he will come again after the appearance of the (Hidden) Imam.”

Well, certainly there is nothing in Islamic eschatology about Jesus and the Imam Mahdi being accompanied by a Venezuelan dictator.

A Matter of Punctuation

Q: How do you punctuate the following: "A woman without her man is nothing" ?
A (man): "A woman, without her man, is nothing."
A (woman): "A woman: without her, man is nothing."

Woman ‘smothered boyfriend to death with her breasts’: A WOMAN is to face manslaughter charges after allegedly suffocating her boyfriend with her BOOBS.

Donna Lange is reported to have smothered the fella using her assets during a drunken bust-up at their mobile home in Everett, Washington, US.

Witnesses told police they had heard the couple arguing on two occasions that evening, with 13st 10lb (87kg) Donna throwing her partner to the floor during one incident.

One witness told police that the victim may have had a heart condition, but another claimed: ”She smothered him to death.”

When police arrived at the couple’s home at the Airport Inn Trailer Park, they found paramedics performing CPR on the 51-year-old man.

The victim was later pronounced dead at the Swedish Medical Centre, Washington .

Police said Donna was with a man and two other women at the scene, and that all were heavily intoxicated.

Cops added that Lang had a recent injury to her face and claimed she did not know how the death occurred.

An officer later photographed what appeared to [be] hair the same colour as Lange’s, clutched in the corpse’s hand.

Lange is to be charged with second-degree manslaughter.

Belgian woman ends up in Zagreb after GPS failure

By Nerea Rial

A 67-year-old woman from Hainaut Province in Wallonia (Belgium) left her home in Erquelinnes on 12 January to pick up a friend at the Brussels North Station, but arrived in Zagreb (Croatia) twelve hours later after using her GPS.

A 40-minute trip, turned into a 12-hour journey (1,450km) across Germany and Austria. “I was absent-minded so I kept on putting my foot down”, Sabine Moureau told the daily Het Nieuwsblad.

“I switched on the GPS and punched in the address. Then I started out. My GPS seemed a bit wonky. It sent me on several diversions and that’s where it must have gone wrong”, explained Sabine, who was reported missing to the police by her son.

“I saw tons of different signposts, first in French, later in German, but I kept on driving”. She thought that something was going wrong, but she decided to sleep a few hours by the wayside and continue her trip.
“It was only when I ended up in Zagreb that I realised I was no longer in Belgium”, she said.

While she was on her unexpected tourist voyage, her friend arrived at Sabine’s home and her son called the police. The Belgian authorities searched her home and were about to launch a full scale manhunt when she phoned to say she was in Zagreb.

“Weird? Maybe, but I was just distracted and preoccupied,” Moreau said.

Woman plunges through sidewalk. By FRANK ROSARIO and DANIEL PRENDERGAST »

Cops investigate the UES block where the sidewalk gave way last night. Christopher Sadowski

A heavyset woman caved through an Upper East Side sidewalk last night — dropping six feet into a huge hole where she was eventually pulled out by emergency crews using a crane-like rescue unit, authorities said.

The 31-year-old Queens woman was huddled up against the wall of Atomic Wings at the Blue Room Grill on the corner of East 60th Street and Second Avenue, seeking shelter from the rain while waiting for a bus, when the sidewalk below her gave way around 9:15 p.m., witnesses said.

“The woman was enormous. She had to be more than 300 pounds,” said Daniel Crumity, 44, of Queens, who watched in disbelief from a window inside the Blue Room. “The ground literally fell out from underneath her.

“It happened so fast she did not scream or anything. Everybody in the bar got up to look.”

She was taken to Cornell Hospital where she was treated for shoulder injuries and listed in stable condition.

The woman fell straight through the concrete into an area below that appeared to lead to the restaurant’s basement, witnesses added.

FDNY Fire Chief Thomas Jemmott said the woman had to be pulled up in “high-angle rescue unit” resembling a crane with cargo netting.

“Pretty sophisticated stuff,” he said. “She is a very large person, but we were able to secure her and stabilize her and lift her out of the hole.”

Messages left with the city’s Buildings Department and Transportation Department went unanswered.

Humour: poems

A WOMAN’S POEM
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man who’s not a creep,
One who’s handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who’ll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he’s rich and self-employed,
And when I spend, won’t be annoyed.
Pull out my chair and hold my hand.
Massage my feet and help me stand.
Oh send a king to make me queen.
A man who loves to cook and clean.
I pray this man will love no other.
And relish visits with my mother.

A MAN’S POEM
I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac with
big tits who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and drinking.

This doesn’t rhyme and I don’t give a shit.

The One Career Mistake That’ll Set You Back $500,000. By Lydia Dishman

A new study finds that men and women aren’t all that different when it comes to being willing to ask for better compensation. And yet, over the course of their careers, women stand to lose as much as half a million dollars just by failing to negotiate their first job’s starting salary. Here’s how to make up lost ground.

When Sue Thirlwall, CEO of Miniluxe (think the Starbucks of nail salons) was a newly-minted Harvard MBA, she discovered some life-altering information. “I learned that male MBAs were getting paid $5,000 more than I was.” Though she’d negotiated her best to be at parity with the guys, the firm that made her an offer wouldn’t budge. “They were adamant,” she recalls, “despite the fact that [being slightly older] I had significantly more management and leadership experience.”

Thirlwall took the job anyway and received a very early promotion. She still wishes she’d held out for more. “I believe they may have come back with the same salary [as the men’s] had I turned it down.” As a result, Thirlwall believes she was behind in compensation because she accepted the lower starting salary.

She’s not alone. In a study cited by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever, authors of Women Don’t Ask, if a woman doesn’t push to ask for more money in her first job, she stands to lose more than $500,000 by the time she reaches age 60.

Ironically, says Thirlwall, negotiating that first salary should be easiest. “The stakes are lowest before you go into a company,” she argues, “It’s just like dating before you actually get to know someone.” A recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research indicates that women aren’t really less likely to negotiate. What they are is reluctant to do so in certain circumstances, like a face-to-face meeting, the study found.

A report by the Atlantic noted that the study didn’t follow job seekers as they advanced through their careers—or show how men and women negotiated differently as a result of age and experience. So Fast Company turned to career coaches, human resources directors, and employment consultants to weigh in on what might happen next. Here’s what they told us.

Cleric Beaten Up By ‘Badly Veiled’ Woman

“I politely [told] her to cover herself up,” said Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti, an Iranian cleric in the city of Shamirzad in Semnan Province, describing a recent encounter with a woman he believed was improperly veiled.

“She responded to me by saying: ‘You [should] close your eyes.’”

Saudi Woman Makes History in 82 Seconds. By Kevin Spak

(NEWSER) – There was never any chance that Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani was going to win her judo match at the Olympics. In a competition of all black belts, Shahrkhani has only achieved blue. But the crowd gave her a roaring ovation anyway after Melissa Mojica of Puerto Rico dispatched her in just 82 seconds, the AP reports, because that on-mat defeat represents a real-world victory for Saudi women: It marked the first time a Saudi Arabian female has competed at the Games.

“I am happy to be at the Olympics,” Shahrkhani told reporters. “We did not win a medal, but in the future we will and I will be a star for women’s participation.” Shahrkhani competed wearing a modified hijab, and after she hit the mat her hand went to her head to ensure it was still on. “There was no problem at all with the hijab,” Mojica said. “I think everyone has a right to their religion.”
