Shocking massacre in Syria
I dont think there is much that shocks people these days, especially following the deliberate mass murder and massacre of protestors in Egypt last week.
But the callous taking of lives in todays massacre on the outskirts of Damascus is something else.

Imam at the centre of child bride scandal steps down after 'being caught agreeing to marry girl of 12'
A Muslim cleric at the centre of an illegal marriage scandal has stepped down after he allegedly offered to marry a 12-year-old girl to a man in his 20s.
Imam Mohamed Kassamali is said to have told an undercover reporter posing as a father that he could carry out a ceremony for his school-aged daughter.
He allegedly told the Sunday Times journalist: 'If it (the marriage) was not possible, I would have told you straight away... I would love the girl to go to her husband’s houses (sic) as soon as possible, the younger the better.
Trial of the century verdict is due
Samsung Vs Apple.
Apple says that Samsung copies its rounded corners and made lists bounce. They want $2.5 billion for it.
Samsung says that rounded corners already existed, and so did precursors to bouncing lists.
They also say that apple are using their technology (they basically helped design how the 3g system works) without paying them. They want $500million for it.
Apple is saying that yes they are using Samsung Tech, but they think they sould give something like less than a penny per device - and get $40 per samsung device for the rounded corners.
Samsung argue it is crazy to ask for such royalties for something so simple as rounded corners.
(and I hate Apple. Scumbags.)
More Muslim Groups Demand Cancellation of Lady Gaga’s Jakarta Show

More Islamic organizations came to Jakarta Police headquarters on Wednesday to denounce Lady Gaga’s upcoming concert in the capital, as the Jakarta Police stuck to its stance to withhold its recommendation for the show.
The groups included Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), the Indonesian Chinese Islamic Union, Syarikat Islam Hidayatullah, the Muslim Lawyers’ Team and Tarbiyah Islam.
They followed in the footsteps of the eight other groups, including the hard-line Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and the Islamic People’s Forum (FUI), that visited the Jakarta Police headquarters earlier this month to demand the show, scheduled for June 3, be cancelled.
“We reject the Lady Gaga concert on a number of considerations, including cultural liberalization, which degrades the morality of the younger generation,” HTI chairman Muhammad Rahmad Kurnia said after a meeting with the Jakarta Police chief on Wednesday.
“We support the stance of the Jakarta Police not to recommend the concert.”
Muhammad added that the HTI would stage a protest on Thursday.
“If they go on [with the plan], each organization will continue rejecting it through different ways,” Rahmat said.
Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Untung S. Rajab said his office still refused to recommend the concert to the National Police, which must issue the concert promoter a permit before the show can go on.
But Untung did say the Jakarta Police would recommend the show once the promoter managed to meet administrative procedures and secure a permit from the National Police.
Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said earlier on Tuesday that his office would dispatch up to 4,000 personnel to secure the concert, if the permit was issued.
“We’ll give a recommendation if the organizer manages to meet the administrative requirements and comply with moral norms and laws existing in Indonesia,” Untung said.
He said he regretted that the promoter, Big Daddy, had sold more than 52,000 tickets even though the required permit had not been obtained.
The National Police have said they will decide early next week whether to issue the permit.

America is not leaving Iraq with its dignity intact.
America is officially ended its "war operations" in Iraq with a flag ceremony.
They make it look so dignified, as if a lot of what they did there can be whitewashed and ignored.
Unforetunately we cant do anything about what has happened but we can remember.
Hotter Than a Pile of Curry has reminded me about Fallujah and what happened there.
This video is the first that I have seen that points out that that filmed execution in the mosque was not the first one - it was only the first after the cameraman had managed to turn on his camera - he had shot 4 others before the camera was turned on and this was not a live battle - these people were injured that had been left there by Americans in the mosque the day earlier, and now one went in and executed them all.
The comments on that video are also disgusting.
Back to the title - America is not leaving America with its dignity intact. That is if it is leaving at all.

Up to 8,000 forced marriages in the UK every year
There are at least 5,000 to 8,000 cases of forced marriage in England every year but it is impossible to know the full scale of the problem, according to the Home Office.
The estimate is contained in the official consultation paper published on Monday on whether making forced marriage a specific criminal offence will help better protect victims.
