cool, unfortunately I cant access facebook at work, so couldnt check it out.

Seems Obama's ventures in the Middles East have not helped any. As a fact the ones we helped the most hate us the most.

This never ceases to make me roll my eyes:

Bangladesh workers find survivor in factory rubble (http://news.yahoo.com/bangladesh-workers-survivor-factory-rubble-104205204.html)

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) -- A seamstress buried in the wreckage of a collapsed garment factory building for 17 days was rescued Friday, a miraculous moment set against a scene of unimaginable horror, where the death toll shot past 1,000.

Reshma survived, in remarkably good shape, by eating dried food that was in her area and drinking spare amounts of water with her. She was discovered on the second floor of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where crews have been focused on recovering bodies, not rescuing survivors, for much of the past two weeks.

And the most hilarious part?

Hundreds of people who had been engaged in the grim job of removing decomposing bodies from the site raised their hands together in prayer for her survival.

"Allah, you are the greatest, you can do anything. Please allow us all to rescue the survivor just found," said a man on a loudspeaker leading the supplicants. "We seek apology for our sins. Please pardon us, pardon the person found alive."


Mother****er, you need to be thanking the volunteers pulling the rubble aside! Anyone else find it laughable that a deity gets all the props and very little condemnation for allowing shoddy workplace safety? Religious types, not too bright.

Its' Muslim, not moslem... or did you deliberately use the pejorative form of the word because of your obvious discrimination and hatred of people of the religion?


Rat and Alvin:

Your hatred of people, regardless of race or religion, who condone abuse of women in all its forms (domestic violence, rape, mutilation, etc.) is morally justified. I'm 100% with you on that. But judging a billion people in the middle east (the majority of whom are muslims) based on the actions/attitudes of a small minority is cookie cutter racism.

You want to say you dont prejudge people of the middle east and only muslims, then you are a "religious discriminator." Its no different than racism and just as ugly.

Islam doesnt teach that its ok to rape and beat women or perform FGM... thats just a small portion of people who happen to live in those countries and claim to be muslim. Judging the majority of people in those countries based on those few is overt discrimination.

How would you feel if someone beleived you were a "god hates fags" soldier funeral protester just because you lived in the US?

Discrimination is ugly in all its forms. Your comments show you are prejudiced against people from the middle east and/or Muslims. Im ashamed that others here seem to share your ignorant and hateful views.

A whole lot more info on the riots in Turkey. (title is misleading so ignore the title)

As typical, a majority of our news outlets are not covering it. /facepalm

Hey look, Reuters decided to join the party. Shit has hit the fan in Turkey.

Turkish PM calls for immediate end to protests as clashes flare | Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/01/us-turkey-protests-idUSBRE94U0J920130601)


The unrest was triggered by government plans for a replica Ottoman-era barracks housing shops or apartments in Istanbul's Taksim Square, long a venue for political protest, but has widened into a broader show of defiance against Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP).

I think the people are tired of the Islamic bullshit.

Pretty funny, but i take issue with the chart indicating there are no smart or awesome Christians or Muslims or that an Athiest cannot be narrowminded or judgemental. I also thnk "Hypocritical" should have been in large, bold font and underlined for Christians.

I'll give it 80% correct.Considering this chart is about what people search for and say about themselves and other people, the chart is pretty incriminating against self-avowed atheists.

"Bushra's brother Pervez Khan lodged a complaint with the police against film producer Shaukat Khan was behind the attack as the actress had turned down his marriage proposal.

Acid attacks on women, especially by men they have spurned, are common across Pakistan despite the amendment of a law to increase the punishment for such assaults."
