[b]EXCLUSIVE: Pakistani Military Sources Say Zawahiri May Be Dead
Forensic Tests to Reveal Fate of al Qaeda Number Two [/b]

Jan. 13, 2006 — Today, according to Pakistani military sources, U.S. aircraft attacked a compound known to be frequented by high level al Qaeda operatives. Pakistani officials tell ABC News that al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, may have been among them.

U.S. intelligence for the last few days indicated that Zawahiri might be in the location or about to arrive, although there is still no confirmation from U.S.

Stalker Webpages + Blogs

, , and the whole cohort of personal webspaces designed for only one purpose - to get stalked.

Why do people start these things?! My fiancee has had one for a very long while and it's really frightening, you can put up pictures - where you live - your phone number, all kinds of crazy contact information so that any psychopath with too much free time can hunt you down and stalk you.

What are these people thinking?! The internet is a very very very bad and dangerous place - there are all kinds of creeps out there.

Morgan Freeman is awesome

I love that guy.

He did the movies Glory and Shawshank Redemption - that's good enough for me. But he had to go and impress the hell outta me further by starring in no less than two of the James Patterson - Alex Cross Series.

And now what's he doing?

He's gone and narrated a movie about Penguins marching around in the North Pole.

Can this guy get any cooler?

I submit that he can NOT.

Zionism and Islamism

published by Dave on 19 December, 2005 - 01:40

Originally these words had specific meanings - zionism meant the belief that Jews should have their own "jewish state" and islamism meant a belief that Islam should be implimented politically.

Despite their benign meanings they have very negative connotations in the modern world.

I have also see them thrown around with a great deal of liberality - islamism is often used as a blanket term for terrorism, fundamentalism, or those who call for a return of the caliphate - even though the original meaning did not necessarily refer to these things.

Zionism too is often a blanket term for Isr

What was your favorite Cartoon show as a kid and why?

For me it's either Talespin, Duck Tales, or Darkwing Duck.

HANDS DOWN.

Talespin was about all the characters from the junglebook in a 1930s cape town, Balloo plays an amazing pilot who has to run from the famed air pirate DON KARNAGE, and is often the pawn of the business tycoon Shere Khan.

Duck Tales is about Uncle Scrooge - a scottish penny pinching duck that travels the world with his nephews looking for more gold and treasure - simply phenominal, it's like indiana jones.

And Darkwing Duck was about a duck that doubles as

Omrow

Omrow has always been on the forum. We don't precisely know where Omrow comes from, what Omrow intends to do with himself for the next 40 years or precisely what events transpired to create an "Omrow"

I'm somewhat convinced Omrow isn't even a real name - based solely on the fact that it appears to be so rare that the only person with the name "Omrow" in all of Yahoo... is Omrow.

No two words can describe Omrow better than "Salaam, Omrow" - the formulaic beginning and end of all of his short double spaced posts.

We are all pretty sure that we like Omrow's presence even though we are never sure if he is being incredibly sarcastic - or is some sort of genius that we just don't quite understand.

[b]Hussein skips court: Trial resumes without Hussein[/b]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Saddam Hussein's trial resumed Wednesday after a delay of several hours with the deposed Iraqi leader absent from the courtroom.

Chief Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin opened the session at 3 p.m. (7 a.m. ET), about four hours late, and called the first witness.

Hussein's chair sat empty at the front of the dock, and his chief lawyer thanked Amin for continuing the proceedings.

What's the point of The Revival?

What's the point of the Revival?

It seems like ever since that BBC thing everybody has been scrambling for more media exposure... and I am getting the distinct impression that the focus of the Revival is shifting from a site for the Muslim Youth primarily about religious issues, to a site about Political Issues that Muslims face... a sort of junior MPAC.

Anybody else noticed a shift?

AND I MISS THE ED!

He's always busy now scrambling for ideas - I hope he still has time for his family.
