British Soldiers

published by You on 18 February, 2007 - 15:49

Just a question.

In Sudan, Arab Muslims are Massacring African muslims.

If British soldiers were ever deployed there as peace keepers what would your position be?

I for one would probably be all for it (depending on T & C's).

Just wondering what others' opinion would be? not bothered? against? why?

My reason would be the soldiers would be preserving life. For those who are nit picky in these things, they would be preserving Muslim life.

Today everyone got an email similar to the quote below:

Well done to Admin [That's me]. A customer called back and was very impressed with him. Comments used were:

'...Best call centre experience I have ever had...'

'... Was very helpful, concise clear, courtious...'

'...Should be a role model for all call centre workers...'

... Blah blah...

High praise indeed for an outbound sales call.

Two hours later I got my notice. It was pretty funny.

I had a meeting with HR. 'You have had an instance of absence and 6 instances of lateness in the last 5 months. Are you gonna do anything to rectify this?'

I still think this is sort of inevitable, so place your bets.

I say 27 March 2007. Plucked that number of out of thin air, so let's see how far off I am. (you can quote me fore integrity if you wish, otherwise I could be tempted to change the date to the correct one once the war starts... not that I cannot edit anyone else's posts :P)

hola,

i have a question, hopefully it is appropriate and i am not offending anyone (ojala). so if i may ask why do some muslims believe that the moorish invasion of spain was a noble thing, that muslims are supposed to do and other muslims say it is a bad thing that muslims may not do...

my larger question which i am asking is about violence and islam, one muslim has told me there is no place for aggression in islam. but then a muslim i asked elsewhere said that it is okay and said spain was an example the violence that is part of islam...

[size=18]Muslim sitcom debuts in Canada[/size]

I'm with a group of surprised camels, a 300lb chicken shwarma and a bemused comedy writer in a wintry, wet Toronto square.

We're here for the launch of CBC's new sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie, which depicts a Muslim community trying to assimilate in a small prairie town.

It has little in common with the sugary, 1970s American pioneer family drama Little House On The Prairie, jokingly appropriated in the show's title. By contrast, Little Mosque addresses head-on post- 9/11 fears and prejudices.

Circumcision can cut the rate of HIV infection in heterosexual men by 50%, results from two African trials show.

The findings are so striking, the US National Institutes of Health decided it would be unethical to continue and stopped the trials early.

It supports a previous South African study which reported similar results.

Experts said it was a significant breakthrough but could not replace standard methods of preventing infection such as condoms.

The two trials of around 8,000 men took place in Uganda and Kenya were due

[quote][size=18]Death row Briton leaves Pakistan[/size]

A British man who spent 18 years in a Pakistani jail has been freed and has flown out of the country, a day after his death sentence was lifted.

Mirza Tahir Hussain, 36, of Leeds, West Yorkshire, is expected to arrive at Heathrow Airport later on Friday.

He was convicted in 1989 of murdering a taxi driver, but always said the killing was in self-defence.

His brother Amjad said Hussain had suffered "beyond belief" and added: "We are delighted and thrilled".

He said Hussain would need help to adjust to life outside prison.
