We have already have had one fully confirmed case on these very forums (mujahid, mujahid'), and some suspect we have another.

Is it contagious?

What can be done?

Is this such a serious illness that I should not be mocking? (and serious answers are also welcome!)

Well New Orleans is getting anihilated at present.

We should have a weather thread.

...cuz I said so.

Just a question that popped into my head: what type of muslim are you? I dont mean are you hanafi or maliki, salafi or brelwi, zaydi or ithna ashari?

I mean are you moderate, hardline, liberal, extremist, jihadi, apologetic?

Moderate: think u can now take ur beards and scarves off cos ur in danger danger danger!

hardline: reject any movement from the old school. will not tolerate small changes in rulings or interpretations.

liberal: use their own sick minds to make up their own interpretations of islam.

The Washington Post is running a lengthy article today about Xtreme Alternative Defense Systems, an Indiana-based company that says its developed a nonlethal weapon that shoots lightning bolts. This article is an in-depth look at a company that's stirred up some controversy on Slashdot in the past. From the article: 'Lightning guns, heat rays, weapons that can make you hear the voice of God.

I'm sure you've heard the term "Islamofascism" in the media often used to describe muslims the media doesn't like.

Its often used by "neo-con" journalists like Melanie Phillips and Christopher Hitchens who also strongly support the war in Iraq.

Whats interesting is that one of the war's primary architects is himself highly supportive of fascism.

I find it useful to dig beneath the head lines in order to unearth this kind of hypocracy which is pretty widespread.

Who is this guy? I know he is a prophet in Islam, I have been told that many muslims think he is Alexander the Great. Is there any evidence for that?

The government has been accused of wasting hundreds of thousands of pounds of African aid.

The BBC's Five Live Report said it found more than £700,000 spent on hotel bills and meals in Malawi for US staff.

The National Audit Office said it may mount an investigation into the use of consultants by the Department of International Development (DFID).

The DFID has yet to issue a response to the accusations, which will be aired in a programme on Sunday.

[size=18] US anti-war grans face no charges[/size]

Charges have been dropped against five elderly anti-war protesters who tried to enlist at a US military recruitment centre, a city prosecutor has said.

The women aged between 65 and 81, who belonged to an anti-war group called the "raging grannies of Tucson", had been charged with trespassing.

They entered the Arizona centre in July asking to go to Iraq instead of their children and grandchildren.
