Love epic tops Bollywood awards

The Indian historical film Jodhaa Akbar, about a Muslim-Hindu relationship, has dominated an Indian film awards ceremony, with six prizes.

At the gala event in Macau, China, it won best picture, best actor for Hrithik Roshan and best director for Ashutosh Gowariker.

The best actress award went to former Miss World Priyanka Chopra for her role in Fashion.

The International Indian Film Academy awards were marking 10 years.

Standing ovation

Jodhaa Akbar also won awards for best song lyrics, best music direction for Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, and best male playback singer - an award for performers who record soundtracks for on-screen actors.

So What if Holocaust Museum Shooter is White Christian: We Know Who Crescented, er ... Created This Atmosphere; 9/11 Truther

Much is being made by Muslims and their many defenders on the left--and the ignoramus "conservatives" at Hot Air (who lecture us that hate has no ideological bounds, which I already learned not from those clueless ones, but from Sarah Palin e-mails wishing me cancer)--that the shooter of several people (one now dead) at the U.S. Holocaust Museum is not a Muslim but a White guy, James W. Von Brunn, who is a neo-Nazi.

Seems that its not enough to just cause chaos for them. I still advocate what I had once said that maybe their dead should be buried with swine flesh in the same grave. It may make them think twice.

Bomb kills senior Pakistan cleric

A leading anti-Taliban cleric has been killed in a suspected suicide bomb attack at his Islamic religious school in the Pakistani city of Lahore.

The explosion struck the Jaamia Naeemia madrassa around the time of Friday prayers, killing Sarfraz Naeemi, who often spoke out against militants.

Another blast hit a mosque close to a military depot in the north-western garrison town of Nowshera.

Met officers accused of 'torture'

published by You on 10 June, 2009 - 05:31

Six Metropolitan Police officers have been suspended or placed on restricted duties following allegations of ill-treatment after a police raid.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating the Enfield-based officers' conduct, according to Scotland Yard.

The alleged offences are said to have taken place in the borough during two drugs raids on 4 November last year.

The Met said the allegations were serious and raised "real concern".

But they said they could not comment on the exact nature of the complaints.

However, some national newspapers, are reporting that the officers used water torture techniques such as ducking a suspect's head under water.

Islam and bastards

Salaams,

What does Islam say about them? obviously having children, relations outside of wedlock is haraam, but what about after the fact?

What rights to they have? I would assume they are the same as the rights for kids born in/through wedlock?

(I could have probably had the title as "Islam and illegitimate children". Sue me.)

Imam bridges a wedding divide

MUSLIM women and their Christian fiancés from across Europe are travelling to Oxford to get married because imams in their own countries refuse to perform the ceremonies.

Dr Taj Hargey, chairman of the Muslim Education Centre of Oxford, said he had performed about 36 marriages in the past two years between Muslim women and non-Muslim men.

More imams are happy to marry Muslim men to non-Muslim women.

Couples from Spain, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, France and Norway have all come to Dr Hargey after failing to find someone locally prepared to carry out the service.

Most had spent months looking for an imam, and many found Dr Hargey after contacting American Muslim leaders via the Internet.

A telephone and internet helpline offering advice about the true teaching of Islam is being launched in the UK today.

Callers to the Islamic Hotline will get answers to their questions within 48 hours, from scholars trained at one of the world's principal Islamic universities. Users are also able to email their enquiries through the service's website.

The Islamic scholars behind the helpline hope it will combat radicalism in Britain and help ordinary Muslims answer difficult questions about their faith.

The Islamic Hotline believes it has good news for British Muslims - keeping the laws of Islam is not as difficult as you thought.

Tooting MP Sadiq Khan named first Muslim cabinet minister in Gordon Brown's reshuffle

Tooting MP Sadiq Khan said his bus driver father would be proud today after he became the first ever Muslim to join the cabinet, as the minister of state for transport.

Mr Khan, whose late father drove buses around Wandsworth for 25 years, was given the huge promotion in the Labour party reshuffle following the expenses scandal.

...

He also attacked the untimely resignation of his former boss, Hazel Blears, who quit her post as communities secretary at the most demoralising time for the party - the day before the European elections.
