Terrorists 'boasted' to Isil leaders about bombing plane

Only 1,500 Britons of the total 20,000 in Sharm el Sheikh returned over the weekend as restrictions were placed on flights

Russian tourists trying to get home will be given priority treatment after President Vladimir Putin reportedly struck a deal Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al Sisi

The New York Times reports that The FBI has agreed to help the Russian government with its investigation into the deadly crash of a Russian charter plane in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.

Some American officials said van cleef and arpels bracelet alhambra copy that the Russians want help doing a forensic analysis to determine what brought down the Airbus A321 200, while other officials said that the request from the Russians was more general. Although most of the debris is scattered over nearly eight square miles in the desert, some parts of the plane were taken to Russia for analysis.

Cheers of relief in Manchester

The first plane of holidaymakers to return to Manchester since the crisis has touched down to cheers of relief from those onboard. The Manchester Evening News reports that passengers had been on the plane waiting to fly on Wednesday when flights were suspended.

Chelsea Benson, 27, is six months pregnant and had found the ordeal stressful.

She said: "I was out in Egypt on a last minute break and my husband was back here so I found that a worry.

"Today has been the worst because we left the hotel at 11.30am and then the flight was delayed so it's been a very long day.

"It's such a massive relief to be home, I'm just glad about that now, but there are still passengers out there."

British tourists returning home tell of 'chaos'

PA has the latest on passengers arriving back in the UK. Some said security at the airport was "terrible".

Marc Standen and his partner Emily Alfeo were due to fly home on Thursday after a week in the resort but arrived back only last night.

Mr Standen, 28, a car salesman from Westgate, Kent, said security guards at the airport wearing bullet proof vests checked under vehicles with mirrors as they waited in lengthy queues for the airport, but did not check car boots or speak to passengers.

He said: "It was madness. They did a semi pat down inside and we took our shoes off. I don't think it was very thorough. It was madness. Their security is terrible and they are completely overwhelmed."

Bags taken on board were not checked adequately, he said, and at one point around 400 people tried to squeeze through two glass doors to get to a final security check, leaving some hurt as they got trampled.

Mr Standen, who travelled with Thomas Cook, added: "It is the lack of information that is probably the big problem, but the airport is only going to get worse. They don't have it under control. We have left our two bags behind in a pile in the middle of the terminal, and I honestly don't know if we will see them again."

He added: "We are glad van cleef arpels alhambra replica bracelet to be home. I am honestly not the sort of person who would normally worry about things, but it was not a good experience."

"Game changer" for Isil

The unconfirmed reports of the possible involvement of British Jihadists in the attack comes after British intelligence was out in front of the rest of the world in concluding that a bomb most likely took down the plane.

The picked up by intelligence agencies appears to include a series of communications between the Sinai terrorist group, affiliated to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and its leadership based in Syria.

Prior to the explosion last Saturday, US intelligence agencies also intercepted a message from alhambra bracelet van cleef replica the terrorists in Sinai that warned of big in the area

It is understood that details about how the plane was brought down were also intercepted, but the officials have thus far refused to go into detail.

Security analysts described the latest developments as a changer for Isil.

Mokhtar Awad, at the Centre for American Progress which specialises in studying Islamist extremism, said: we had seen so far were IS inspired lone wolves, but this attack appears to be the result of close, consistent operational support.

Review of Cafe Ca Va in West Vancouver

Many years ago, Brigitte and Alain Raye met at a Michelin starred van cleef arpels alhambra replica bracelet restaurant in Burgundy and became quite the team. They moved to West Vancouver, raised a family and, for many years, ran La Regalade, creating what for some was a convincing slice of Paris in West Van."He kept La Regalade and I opened Le Cigale (in Kitsilano) with my son Kevin," says Brigitte. "I moved on, created a new family." But mom and son sold Le Cigale last April and Alain, after struggling with La Regalade, had closed a few months earlier. A short lived sibling restaurant, Cafe La Regalade, which Alain and another son, Steeve, ran in Kitsilano, had been a drain on finances and energy. And without the brilliant Brigitte running the front of house at La Regalade, it just wasn't the same.In September, the two returned for a second act. They're operating Caf a Va in West Vancouver, strictly as a business team. Owner Amin Leo Sabounchi wisely handed them the reins van cleef bracelet alhambra replica and a Va has again transformed into a believable piece of France. Brigitte answers the phone in her cheerful "Ahh lo" and she's restaurant gold. A waiter (previously at Le Cigale) arrives tableside with a cheerful run on 'Dam sieur' greeting (madame, monsieur) and compared to most servers is downright suave.Son Kevin has just joined his dad, cooking in the kitchen. And is kind of like old times for customers (of which 90 per cent are former La Regalade regulars).The food has vastly improved from when I visited a Va when it first opened last year. Then, I wasn't terribly impressed, especially with a goat cheese souffle which was the saddest I'd ever seen. The food is much better under Raye. As Brigitte says, he's as bracelet replica van cleef and arpels passionate as ever about food, reading books and magazines and keeping up with what's happening in Europe.Raye didn't replay his rustic La Regalade food and has taken it up a notch and the food is more finely plated. I don't know I loved the rusticity and shoulder to shoulder coziness. However, a Va still has a bistro vibe, although you don't see many bistros with Christian Lacroix wallpaper and glittery chandeliers.Dinner began with a rather large amuse bouche squid ink risotto with dots of parsley mousse set on a red plate. It wasn't the best of all possible starts with the black risotto on a red plate and I thought, this is bad. It was delicious.A slice of pate en croute with a piece of chicken breast in the centre ($18) came with pickled enoki mushrooms, pickled mushrooms, dates and gherkins. epaper, Digital Access, Subscriber Rewards), please input your Print Newspaper subscription phone number and postal code.{ phone }{ addressPostalCode }By clicking "Create Account", I hearby grant permission to Market to use my account information to create my account.I also accept and agree to be bound by Postmedia's Terms and Conditions with respect to my use of the Site and I have read and understand Postmedia's Privacy Statement. epaper, Digital Access, Subscriber Rewards), please input your Print Newspaper subscription phone number and postal code.{ phone }{ addressPostalCode }By clicking "Create Account", I hearby grant permission to Postmedia to use my account information to create my account.I also accept and agree to be bound by Postmedia's Terms and Conditions with respect to my use of the Site and I have read and understand Postmedia's Privacy Statement.

Space plane lands after record 674

An unpiloted Air Force space plane glided back to Earth Friday after a record 674 day stay in orbit, closing out a clandestine military mission with a computer controlled landing at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. local time), rolling to a stop a few moments later.

Other than a brief Air Force statement last Friday announcing landing preparations at Vandenberg, there was no advance warning of the space plane's re entry and, in keeping with the secrecy surrounding the program, no details on what the spacecraft might have been doing during its nearly two years aloft.

In a brief statement released shortly after landing, the Air Force said "the OTV 3 conducted on orbit experiments for 674 days during its mission, extending the total number of days spent on orbit for the OTV program to 1,367 days."

"The 30th Space Wing and our mission partners, (the) Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, Boeing and our base support contractors have put countless hours of hard work into preparing for this landing," said Col Keith Balts, 30th Space Wing commander. "I'm extremely proud of our team for coming together to execute this third safe and successful landing."

It was the first official update on the spacecraft since launch from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket on Dec. 11, 2012.

"The landing of OTV 3 marks a hallmark event for the program," an unidentified program manager said in the Air Force release. "The mission is our longest to date and we're pleased with the incremental progress we've seen in our testing of the reusable space plane. The dedication and hard work by the entire team has made us extremely proud."

The unpiloted X 37B spaceplane touches down at Vandenberg Air Force Base after an autonomous glide from orbit.

The secrecy surrounding the X 37B program has prompted widespread speculation about its mission.

"One mission that seems to be frequently suggested is a maneuvering sensor to look at 'hot spots' on Earth," Laura Grego, a UCS senior scientist, said in a blog posting Wednesday. "The space plane may be able to do that. But the problem is that the ability to maneuver and the ability to return to earth work at cross purposes.

"Returning to Earth requires massive landing gear and heat shielding, knock off van cleef perlee ring replica which is like putting rocks in your backpack when you're trying to be agile. It's not well suited. This mission could be done much better and cheaper using other platforms."

As for the stealthy nature of the X 37B program, Grego wrote "there is nothing stealthy about this craft."

"It is easily observed from the ground and because of all the extra mass must be launched on a large rocket (Atlas V)," she said. "So while the space plane may be carrying advanced sensors to orbit so that they can be tested and returned, roving or stealthy sensors are not a good missions for it."

But the Air Force apparently has long range plans to fly the X 37B. Last week, NASA announced the Air Force would be taking over two of the original three orbiter processing facilities at the Kennedy Space Center where the agency's now retired space shuttles were serviced after landing and readied for their next mission.

It had long been expected that the Air Force would take advantage of the OPFs and Kennedy's 3 mile long shuttle runway for the X 37B project to reduce the cost of servicing the space planes between flights. The three X 37B missions launched to date took off from Florida and landed in California.

Boeing is expected to complete modifications in the OPFs by the end of the year. Presumably, the next X 37B mission, whenever it occurs, will launch and land in Florida.

The automated spacecraft resembles a mini space shuttle with stubby wings, a compact payload bay, maneuvering thrusters and heat shield tiles. Unlike the shuttle, which relied on hydrogen oxygen fuel cells to generate power, the Air Force space plane apparently uses a deployable solar array that extends from the craft's payload bay.

It also features more lightweight composite materials, improved wing insulation and tougher heat shield tiles that "are significantly more durable than the first generation tiles used by the space shuttle," according to a Boeing website. "All avionics on the X 37B are designed to automate all de orbit and landing functions."

The vehicle that landed Friday carried out the OTV program's maiden flight, taking off from Cape Canaveral April 22, 2010, atop an Atlas 5. The spacecraft spent nearly 225 days in orbit before gliding to a computer controlled touchdown at Vandenberg.

A second X 37B was launched on March 5, 2011. It spent 469 knock off van cleef and arpels alhambra ring days in space, landing June 16, 2012, at Vandenberg. The original X 37B, the one that landed Friday, returned to space on Dec. 11, 2012.

NASA developed the original idea of a small winged orbiter, which was built by Boeing Corp.'s Phantom Works division. But the program was turned over to the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, in 2004. The Air Force took it over in 2006.

"As with many other advanced technology test programs, some details of the mission and test requirements are classified or sensitive," an Air Force spokeswoman told SpaceflightNow after the program's third launch. "The focus of the program remains on vehicle capabilities and proving the utility and cost effectiveness of a reusable spacecraft.

"One of the most promising aspects of knock off van cleef and arpels frivole ring the X 37B OTV is it enables us to examine a payload system or technology in the environment in which it will perform its mission and inspect them when we bring them back to Earth."

But that launch pad to runway architecture is inherently expensive, requiring a large booster, high tech materials, avionics and an autonomous landing system.

"These are interesting technologies, but returning to Earth . isn't a mission, it's a technology," Grego wrote. "Why classified, though?

"It's a well resourced classified military program, so will generate plenty of raised eyebrows and interest in similar technologies in other countries," she wrote. "Is it worth it? We have yet to hear anything approaching a convincing argument."

Robert Doyle looks set to retain mayoral robes

MELBOURNE lord mayor Robert Doyle looks almost certain to be returned, but without a majority on the 11 member council, according to early inspection of ballot papers.

As ballots were opened and sorted last night, Cr Doyle looked to be polling well ahead of his rivals, said City of Melbourne scrutineers.

Candidate Anthony van der Craats said: ''We know the results already. Doyle's returned for a second term. He got over 40 per cent in the Lord Mayor's case. That's a clear cut win. He fell just below the 40 per cent in the council".

Cr Doyle's running mate and current deputy lord mayor, Susan Riley, and incumbent councillors Kevin Louey, Jackie Watts and Ken Ong are also expected to be re elected.

Cr Louey came under scrutiny during the campaign for allegedly arranging ''cash for access'' meetings with developers.

New members of Team Doyle will knock off van cleef and arpels between the finger ring likely include Beverley Pinder Mortimer and Arron Wood.

Cr Doyle's main rival, Sotheby's chief knock off van cleef perlee ring replica executive Gary Singer, was likely to poll about 16 per cent, according to the Victorian Local Governance Association's predictions.

Pollster Gary Morgan, who was running with businessman John Elliott, and the Greens' Alison Parkes were heading for 12 per cent of the vote.

Mr van der Craats said former lord mayor Kevin Chamberlin had lost while Carl Jetter was not expected to cross the line.

He predicted shareholder activist Stephen Mayne, the ALP's Richard Foster and two Greens candidates would also win.

Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber agreed that his party would double its representation on the council, with Rohan Leppert set to join Cathy Oke.

''Everybody seems to agree that our primary [vote] is over 17 per cent on the council count, rather than on the lord mayor count,'' Mr Barber said.

''Cathy Oke will definitely be re elected and there's a very good chance, I'd say, of a second Green, being Rohan [Leppert].''

Mr Mayne said that while there was ''a reasonable likelihood'' of him winning, it was still a tight contest between Mr Chamberlin and Mr Leppert.

The former Manningham councillor said that while ''Doyle has won comfortably,'' he would no longer be a ''one man band''.

Postal elections were conducted in all but eight councils that had attendance voting Banyule, Glen Eira, Greater Dandenong, Knox, Moreland, Port Phillip, Stonnington and Yarra. Elections were not held for Brimbank knock off van cleef flower ring council, which is in administration.

Earlier yesterday, voters at some booths were forced to wait more than an hour to cast their ballot after a technical glitch with the electronic voting system.

The digital system, which connects laptops to the Victorian Electoral Commission, is designed to speed up the voting process and prevent election fraud.

Sickly biker gets 18

David Giles has been a Hells Angel for 35 years, though since 2012 as a member of the House Crew. Supreme Court Friday. Back i 2014, his Kelowna chapter brothers Norm Cocks and Rob Thomas got 15 years for manslaughter for their role in killing Dain Phillips after his sons got into a conflict with some young HA associates. almost five years ago. Supreme Court Justice Carol Ross read out her reasons.

"Considering the nature of this transaction, the quantity of drugs involved, the intention for it to be an ongoing venture, Mr. Giles' role and Mr. Giles' personal circumstances, I have concluded that the fit sentence is 18 years," Ross said.

She gave Giles almost seven years' credit for his time in pre trial custody, for a net jail term of 11 years, one month.

Giles was convicted last fall of conspiracy to import cocaine, conspiracy to traffic and possession for the purpose of knock off small van cleef necklace trafficking after he and associate Kevin Van Kalkeren brokered a 2012 smuggling deal with police posing as South American drug lords.

Van Kalkeren pleaded guilty on the eve of his trial last year and got a 16 year sentence.

After months of negotiating and a $4 million down payment, 200 kilograms of purported cocaine were delivered to a Burnaby warehouse on Aug. 25, 2012. Police swooped in and arrested Giles, Van Kalkeren and six others.

Giles's lawyer Paul Gill had argued for a lower term because his client is critically ill with liver disease and needs a transplant.

And he said Van Kalkeren was the real leader of the conspiracy, putting up van cleef and arpels long necklace imitation all the cash and introducing Giles to the undercover cops.

At one point, he told the police that Giles was worldwide president of the Hells Angels a position that doesn exist, Ross said.

While Ross agreed that Giles's health had to be considered, she rejected the argument that he was subservient to Van Kalkeren while making arrangements for the massive drug shipment.

"Once Mr. Giles was recruited to the conspiracy, he acted as Mr. Van Kalkeren's equal partner and was treated by Mr. Van Kalkeren as such," Ross said.

And Giles, who was vice president of the Hells Angels Kelowna chapter at the time, "said his target was to take 500 kilos every three months," Ross noted.

"Mr. Giles repeatedly refers to his market, his buyers, his plans for the distribution of the cocaine."

Prosecutor Chris Greenwood had argued for a term of between 18 and 20 years for the frail, balding Angel.

He said it was clear from what Giles said in intercepted conversations that he had been a major player van cleef inspired necklace copy in the drug trade for years.

Ross said some of Giles's comments were no doubt boasts to impress the undercover police. He finished Grade 5 and was then "committed to a reformatory that has become notorious for abuse."

He went on to foster care and a life of crime, though his last conviction was in 1984 for trafficking. more than a decade ago.

Also sentenced Friday was Shawn Womacks, convicted of possession for the purpose of trafficking after helping unload the cocaine on Aug. 25, 2012.

Ross said an appropriate sentence for Womacks was six years, given that he was only hired as labour and had struggled with addiction for years.

Ringo Starr disgusted

Ringo Starr is disgusted that British jihadis in Syria have been nicknamed 'The Beatles', claiming ISIS is against everything his former band stood for.

The nickname was revealed by a former ISIS captive who said van cleef necklace clover replica the gang of British extremists had been compared to the group from Liverpool because of their accents.

The man thought to be responsible for beheading American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff has been dubbed 'Jihadi John', while two other British jihadis are being called Paul and Ringo.

Now the drummer has spoken out saying that it is 'bt' that they have these names as it goes against The Beatles' ideology of peace and love.

Mr Starr told the London Evening Standard: 'What they are doing out there is against everything The Beatles stood for.

'If we stood for anything we never stood for that. The van cleef and arpels alhambra turquoise necklace replica four of us absolutely stood for peace and love.'

But the 74 year old admits that he and the only other surviving Beatle Paul McCartney are powerless to stop their names being linked to the fanatics despite their fans' fury over their names being linked to the ISIS members.

Mr Starr won a GQ Man of the Year award earlier this week for his humanitarian work, which sees his Peace and Love fund raise money for war veterans who suffer from post traumatic stress.

Fellow Beatle John Lennon, who died in 1980, was known for his anti war stance and releases songs such as 'Give Peace A Chance', 'Imagine' and 'Merry Xmas (War Is Over)'

An armed ISIS member parades through the streets of Raqqa, Syria, waving a jihadist flag. Today David Cameron vowed to 'squeeze' the terror group out of existence

Meanwhile an ISIS defector, who has said that British militant Jihadi John was chosen to execute Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff because it would make other Westerners feel part of ISIS cause.

The former insurgent, in his 20s and now based in Turkey, said Jihadi John helped to showcase ISIS to Western recruits.

He said: 'It is possible that the goal was to project the image that a European or a Western person executed an American so that they can showcase their Western members and appeal to others outside Syria and make them feel that they belong to the same cause and that they too can do anything in support of ISIS in their respective countries.'

It comes as Prime Minister David Cameron today vowed to 'squeeze' ISIS out of existence and indicated that he may be willing to use the RAF to bomb the terrorist organisation.

He also said that the terrorist, known as Jihad John, believed to be responsible for the murder of the two US journalists, will face justice 'one way or another'.

RV Dehumidifiers What type of dehumidifier is best for a recreational vehicle

RV dehumidifiers need to collect pints of water per day, not ounces. RVs can be very large, up to around 400 square feet in floor area. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers recommends a minimum capacity of 10 pints per day for a "moderately damp" area of up to 500 square feet. This recommendation applies, of course to dehumidifiers for the house. RVs are frequently knock off van cleef wedding ring price homes but they are not houses and the temperature inside them changes more quickly in response to variations of the outdoor temperature. In combination with the amount of moisture released inside the relatively restricted space of an RV, this accounts for the extreme condensation problems often reported. For this reason I would advise against "mini dehumidifiers" for the RV. There are two types; rechargeable dehumidifiers, which use silica gel to absorb water, and small, electrically powered units, using the "Peltier" process. Neither type can remove more than a couple of pints of moisture per day, typically much less. They are unsuitable for all but the smallest Camper Van and even then more than one may be needed. Specialized dehumidifiers for RV's and boats are available and have the advantage of being short and squat, meaning a low center of gravity, which makes them more stable while a vehicle is moving. An example is the "Mighty Dry DH10". This unit will remove 10 pints per day and is compact and light but retails at around $465 which is a lot of money to pay for a low capacity unit. Even 10 pints per day may be a little less power than you need van cleef cosmos ring knock off in a large RV. If the dehumidifier is too small it will run continuously, pushing up your energy costs. I assume that most folks will be using the dehumidifier while hooked up to an external electricity supply. Units that operate on a 12v supply are unlikely to have the power that you need. For most RV users a room dehumidifier will be fine. Typically the smallest capacity room dehumidifier is rated for 25 pints which will be enough for even the largest RV. Any reputable brand will be OK but, even in the biggest RV, space may be a little limited. A "slim" dehumidifier with a shallow depth will be easier to accommodate and will not project so far into the vehicle. One example is the Soleus CFM 25E which has a depth of only 9.25 inches and is rated down to temperatures of 36 F so will be suitable for cold weather. An alternative is the DeLonghi DD45 model. Although nominally a 45 pint dehumidifier this unit is actually comparable to the Soleus CFM 25E. This apparent anomaly arises from the different testing conditions at which the two units were rated. At the AHAM standard, 80 F and 60% relative humidity, both are 25 pint dehumidifiers. The DeLonghi is a little deeper than the van cleef and arpels lotus ring knock off Soleus, at 11.8inches but can be placed flush against the wall due to the location of the intake and output air vents on the sides. It is less tolerant of cold operating conditions but will function down to 41 F. Another issue of concern for RV users is the noise level produced by a dehumidifier. On this count the Soleus CFM 25E takes the prize. It has three fan speeds and at the lowest setting it generates only 41dB of noise, very quiet for a dehumidifier. One way to reduce noise from a dehumidifier is to switch it off. Of course you would not want to do that but both of the dehumidifiers I have mentioned have adjustable humidistat controls and switch off themselves when relative humidity has been reduced to your chosen level. A dehumidifier with a little more power than you need will run for fewer hours, making less noise and saving you energy.

Steve Moore settle lawsuit

TORONTO A settlement has been reached in Steve Moore's lawsuit against NHL forward Todd Bertuzzi, more than 10 years after the infamous on ice attack ended Moore's career.

Geoff Adair, a lawyer for Bertuzzi, confirmed the case has been "settled in its totality" but said the terms are confidential.

The notorious hit happened on March 8, 2004. Bertuzzi, then playing for the Vancouver Canucks, hit Moore from behind, sending the hapless Colorado Avalanche rookie crashing face first to the ice and leaving him with a concussion and fractured vertebrae.

Moore alleges the Canucks had put a bounty on his head following his check that left their captain Markus Naslund injured. Bertuzzi pleaded guilty to criminal assault causing bodily harm for the hit and was sentenced in 2006 to one year probation and 80 hours of community service.

There has been years of legal wrangling since then. The civil case was filed in Ontario court in 2006 but was marred by several delays.

Moore, now 35, never fully recovered from his injuries and was unable to continue his career. In an interview earlier this year, he told The Canadian Press he still suffers from headaches and low energy.

Moore said in the March interview, just a day before the 10th anniversary of the incident, that the lawsuit was not so van cleef and arpels butterfly ring knock off much about the money as being compensated for the loss of his dreams.

"I lost my entire career in my rookie year," he said. "I think any player put in that situation would do the same thing. I can't recover anything else. I can't recover my career, the experience of living out my dream from the time I was two and half years old of playing in the NHL."

It all started on Feb. 16, 2004, when Moore flattened Naslund van cleef and arpels alhambra ring knock off with an open ice hit that put Vancouver's scoring star out with a concussion but was deemed legal by the NHL.

Major retaliation was expected. Vancouver's Brad May was quoted as saying there was a "bounty" on Moore's head. But when the teams next met on March 3, with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in the house, there were no incidents.

The fireworks came in their March 8 game, a 9 2 Colorado win.

Moore squared off against Matt Cooke in the first period, a fight that was considered a draw. It appeared that was the end of it. But things got nasty in the third frame. Moore was challenged again. He turned away. Bertuzzi skated up behind him, tugging on his jersey, then punching him from behind and falling on top of him as other players piled on.

Moore lay motionless on the ice in a pool of blood before being stretchered off and taken to hospital.

Bertuzzi was suspended for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs, which cost him about $502,000, and he didn't play during the 2004 05 lockout season. But he was reinstated for the 2005 06 campaign van cleef perlee ring replica knock off and has since continued his career, most recently with Detroit.

Talkbacks The problem with Islam

Is the Koran, the Imams, the Ayatollahs, the tenets, the doctrines, all of which create the attitude, "them and us", diamond clover earrings fake which of course is embodied in the concept, Dar el Islam and Dar el Harab.

Time to call a spade a spade and stop the denial. This problem will never go away until a fundamental change in this religion takes place from deep within, an understanding that Islam and its God have no special place in the fundament. As things stand at the moment Islam is "right" and all the others are "wrong", and the duty of Islam is to "correct" all the others.

I agree with your analysis and observations. I am a Muslim and I defy my brothers or anyone to demonstrate to me that what is happening today in the name of Islam is justified in our Holy Koran. Those who kill other Muslims or non Muslims in the name of Islam and call Allah Akbar while doing so, are nothing but lost souls who have been deceived, brainwashed, misled and financed by wicked leaders who have their own political agenda. Ignorance is the worst enemy of Islam. Ignorance leads to poverty and poverty leads to violence. It is time that Muslim leaders around the world address this crucial and threatening jihadist phenomenon and put an end to it van cleef small earrings fake before it mushrooms into a clash of religions and cultures.

Everything that is being touted as achievements in Islam occurred in the first decades after conquering a new land and was entirely the labor of many non Muslims and a few recent converts.

After Islam established itself and the pre Islam people died, all Muslim ruled lands entered a many centuries long period of darkness in civilization that has persisted to this day.

This will not change until oppressive Islam is vanquished from the face of this earth.

Oh, I forgot. There is one great achievement that can be attributed to Muslim Arabs. They gave Algebra its name used today in the world since Al Geabr in Arabic means addition. Other than that the science of Algebra came entirely from the Sumerians, Babylonians, Hindus and Persians prior to Islam's invention by murderer Muhammad's hallucinations due to contracting syphilis.

While 'hills youth' and their circles are definitely a terrorist aberration of Judaism, the settlement movement at large is not. Jews have lived in those areas for thousands of years and had it not been for the settlement movement there would have been no Israel. The fact that Britain and France (with other powers) decided to give the Jewish people only a small fraction of the original Palestine is no reason to make Jews who wish to continue living in the lands Jews always lived in a terrorist or occupying activity especially since there was never a formal state there after the Ottomans.

Hamas leader Ahmad Jabari quoted that prisoners released in the Gilad Shalit deal, were responsible for the killings of 569 israelies.

There is no legal Protestant or Reform Islam movement that will push aside the primitive Islamic traditions of 1400 years ago in favour of the Scientific Method. These traditions are working against Muslims as far as science and technology is concerned, and keeping them in the stone age, with the great hope of dying and going to paradise. . When it comes to women, Islam is tyrannical, providing no freedom of choice, movement or learning. If Muslim women are oppressed and poorly educated, it creates a mental environment of ignorance that handicaps their children and society at large.

Of course, in a capitalist system, one man's misery is another man's gain. Those who control the Western world do not want Muslims to ever come out of their Islamic fantasy. They are too busy making money selling weapons to fight terrorism. On the internet, there is little to no criticism of Islam, so Muslims believe that their religion is the truth. But the reality is that there is no archaeological or historical evidence to confirm that anybody named Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, Ishmael, King David, King Solomon or Jesus the Christ EVER EXISTED. Most of the characters in the Quran were taken from the Bible, as there are no other sources for these people. It's horrible that human beings are actually killing each other over beliefs that cannot be confirmed to be true.

The world is need of a new human being one who works for the good of all, and not competing for advantage, like a predator animal in a jungle, over the others.

The Life of Medieval Monks and Nuns

In the Middle Ages the church in Europe was a powerful social and political force which rivaled or even surpassed that of earthly kings. The church under the leadership of the Pope in Rome believed that it was above earthly law, and was bound to obey God's law alone.

The worldly power of the church arose from its spiritual power. It taught the doctrine of original sin, which resulted from Eve's disobedience to God when she tempted Adam to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. It instilled in its congregations the need for repentance, obedience to the church, hope in heaven, and fear of hell. They gave up all personal possessions, and dedicated themselves to a communal life of incessant prayer, constant discipline, and Spartan simplicity.

In spite of the demands on devotees, monastic life held great appeal. In twelfth century England alone, according to the YouTube educational video Medieval Realms, there were 750 religious communities which controlled 15% of the land.

Occasionally, a wife obtained her husband permission to take a vow of chastity, along with an endowment to give to the convent of her choice.

Other women were not quite so willing. When women married, their families were expected to provide them with a dowry, and dowries given to daughters of wealthy families were often significant. Women entering a convent were also required to pay a dowry, but spiritual dowries were not as burdensome. Consequently, wealthy families with many daughters sometimes forced their daughters to enter a convent at a young age in order to avoid exorbitant marriage dowries. Some women may have been escaping forced marriages. In addition, unwed mothers, unfaithful wives and abandoned mistresses were often cloistered in nunneries to avoid scandal.

After living in a monastery or convent for four years monks and nuns were expected to take their final lifelong vows. The consecration of a nun was considered a marriage to God, and was symbolized by the placing of a ring on her wedding finger. Because of the requirement of a spiritual dowry, while a man from any level of society could become a monk, most nuns came from wealthy families. These ladies were known as "choir nuns." Women from poorer families could also join a convent, but they became lower class "servant nuns."Monastic life revolved around the daily prayer ritual.

The need for self sufficiency meant that labor was an integral part of the monk devotional life. When not at prayer, vintage alhambra earrings fake there was work to do in the gardens, the laundry or the kitchen.
