31st MEU, Essex ordered to leave Myanmar

What a pity. I really feel sorry for those poor Burmese people who are stuck with these tyrants. If the Left really cared about people, then they would have insisted that the Marines and Navy force their way in and help the people. Instead, everyone is just ignoring these poor people. We need to help, even if the world refuses to. How can we help?

31st MEU, Essex ordered to leave Myanmar - Marine Corps News, news from Iraq - Marine Corps Times: "Navy ships laden with relief supplies were told to steam away from Myanmar’s coast Thursday, their helicopters barred by the ruling junta even though millions of cyclone survivors need food, shelter or medical care.

More than a month after the storm, many people in stricken areas still have received no aid at all and the military regime continued to impose constraints on international rescue efforts, humanitarian groups said Wednesday.

“I am both saddened and frustrated to know that we have been in a position to help ease the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people and help mitigate further loss of life, but have been unable to do so because of the unrelenting position of the Burma military junta,” said Adm. Timothy J. Keating, head of the U.S. Pacific Command. Myanmar is also known as Burma.

The amphibious assault ship Essex and three other ships, which have been in international waters off Myanmar since May 13, were ordered to resume their previously scheduled missions on Thursday, Keating said in a statement issued by his headquarters in Hawaii."

Israeli Aid Teams Hard at work in Burma

I am glad that some people are able to bring in aid, even though the brutal dictator refuses to allow it. I wonder if anyone will praise the Israelis for this?

IsraeliGirl: Israeli Aid Teams Hard at work in Burma: "About 150,000 people are feared to have been killed and at least 1.5 million people left homeless after south Burma was devastated by cyclone Nargis. Aid agencies in Burma say it is only a matter of time before there are large-scale outbreaks of cholera and other water-born diseases in areas affected by Cyclone Nargis, leading to thousands more dead.

Even in this urgent situation, Burma's military authorities are refusing to accept international help. Most aid workers manage to get into the Myanmar area. However, most of the damage is in South Burma, in the Delta region. The Junta is not allowing aid workers into that region to help the people in need.

Despite the obstacles set by the authorities, Israeli aid workers were among the few able to enter deep inside the Delta region and assist the people in their time of need. To learn more about the situation we've spoken with a representative (note: name witheld to protect relief workers) of Israeli Flying Aid, one of the Israeli organizations working in the region now."

PASTOR’S 13-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER GANG-RAPED

The Religion of Peace and Tolerance shows its love and understanding for others.

Compass Direct News: "Muslim villagers in Mymensingh district eager to rid the area of the Christian work of a local pastor have gang-raped his 13-year-old daughter, the girl's father said.

Pastor Motilal Das of United Bethany Church said that at around 3 a.m. on Friday (May 2) the villagers sexually assaulted his daughter, Elina Das, and left her unconscious in front of his house in an attempt to drive him and his Christian ministry out of Laksmipur village in Fulbaria sub-district, 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of the capital.

Local residents have long been angry with him for his ministry and evangelism, he said, and he has received death threats.

“I did not pay attention to any of the threats or hindrances – I continued evangelical and pastoral activities with prayer,” Das told Compass. “They targeted me to evict from this area to stop the Christian activities. When nothing stopped me, then they wanted to leave me scarred for life, so that I would be upset and not be able to show my face to the society for shame, and therefore I would leave the village.”

Das, who became the first Christian in the area in 1986 and has been key in an increase to more than 250 Christians and the emergence of 12 churches, said the brutal attack was pre-planned and calcu"

Teachers targeted in Thailand's deadly insurgency

Teaching Muslims should be illegal? That way they can better control the ignorant population. Tyrants always demand that their population be ignorant of everything except how to submit to authority. I can see why followers of the Religion of Submission like tyrants and hate democracy.

AFP: Teachers targeted in Thailand's deadly insurgency: "Rebels' main targets include soldiers, policemen, officials, Buddhists and Muslims seen as collaborating with Thai authorities.

But the attacks on teachers have taken an especially heavy toll, crippling the region's educational system and often provoking national outpourings of grief.

Militants have killed 75 teachers and burned down 297 public school buildings since early 2004, according to a regional educational office in Yala.

The statistics belie the brutality of the attacks.

One Buddhist teacher was shot in his parked car and then burned alive inside it.

Another was killed when four rebels dressed in school uniforms, walked into a classroom and shot him dead at point-blank range in front of his terrified students.

Even more horrifying, a man's severed head was mounted on the gate to a middle school last year, with the heads of two other victims left on a nearby bridge and a road.

Armed soldiers now escort teachers to and from school, and stand guard on campus during classes."

Muslim hardliners sue Indonesia anti-terrorism unit

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is almost a parody of the fight against terror! Too funny!

Muslim hardliners sue Indonesia anti-terrorism unit | Reuters.com: "Controversial Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir launched a court case on Thursday demanding Indonesia's anti-terrorism police unit be disbanded because it harmed Islam.

The lawsuit charges that Detachment 88, a police unit funded and trained by the United States and Australia, targets innocent Muslim activists and does the bidding of Western powers hostile to Islam.

'Special Detachment 88 is harming Islam because they say Muslims are terrorists and they give Islam a bad name,' said Bashir, jailed for 30 months for conspiracy over the 2002 Bali bombings but later cleared.

'The unit was formed not to fight terrorists but to fight Islam. That's exactly what infidels do,' he told reporters after the session adjourned."

Islamic law by the back door

Sharia is going where ever Muslims are. Turkey or Indonesia, Germany or England, I am amazed that there are no stories yet about Islamic regions of the US! Considering that Mexican laws are enforced in many areas of the US, it is only a matter of time until the Islamists are openly enforcing their laws too.

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Islamic law by the back door: "Half an hour's drive from Indonesia's parliament, the civilian police in the district of Tangerang go on patrol every evening.

A dozen men, crammed into the back of a pick-up truck, cruise the dimly-lit streets, looking for anywhere serving alcohol or any woman they think might be a prostitute.

The municipal government in Tangerang has banned both alcohol and 'any behaviour that suggests prostitution'.

It is one of a number of districts which, despite the fact Indonesia is a secular state, have recently brought in local Islamic-style laws."

Human Trafficking Victims Found in Kansas Raid: Top News Stories at Officer.com

Human trafficking? Sounds like slavery to me! Why not just call it that? Send this kind of trash back to the Third World where it is tolerated! I guess that Chinese slaves should all get restitution like the great-great-great-grandchildren of the African slaves are demanding?

Of course, the great-whatever-grandchildren of African decent are demanding this payment as restitution because of the terrible genetic damage done to them by being imported to the United States of America. The slaves brought to other parts of America were not as mutated, so they have figured out how to obtain jobs and live normal lives. Pity. I have seen that a few managed to overcome their genetics, but it is usually because Republicans want to use them as show pieces. Good Democrats understand about the genetic damage and know that these poor decendants of slaves need Welfare!

Anyway, I am tired of the US being blamed for haveing used slave labor in the past. Let us look at the modern slave trade! Break it up! Stop ignoring it! It is easy to find. Look at the Third World! Look at the Muslim countries! I am going to start highlighting slavery in the modern world, just because I am sick of it.

Human Trafficking Victims Found in Kansas Raid: Top News Stories at Officer.com: "Authorities on Friday charged four people with bringing women from China to the Kansas City area for prostitution after an investigation that led to raids at a string of Kansas businesses billed as massage parlors.

Authorities say they rescued 15 women who worked at the businesses. The women are not facing charges, FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said."

Hindu gets custody of children from Muslim wife

This is sad. A family broken up because this poor lady was born a Muslim, yet was not a practicing Muslim. It is a victory for religious freedoms, but it comes at a high price. Of course, if the poor father was left out of his family and the children had to change religions. I do not see a real winner to this case, but since it is an update to a previous post, I had to follow up. Poor family.

Hindu gets custody of children from Muslim wife - Women - Middle East Times: "A Malaysian Hindu man forcibly separated from his Muslim wife by Islamic authorities because they are of different religions was Thursday granted custody of their children in a milestone case.

The children will be raised as Hindus in central Selangor state despite having one Muslim parent - which lawyers said was unprecedented in mainly Muslim Malaysia.

Selangor Islamic authorities last month forcibly separated ethnic Indian P. Marimuthu from his ethnic Indian Muslim wife of 21 years, Raimah Bibi Noordin and six of their seven children.

During a high court hearing west of Kuala Lumpur, Raimah, 39, clad in traditional Malay floor-length attire with a Muslim headscarf, told the judge that she was voluntarily giving up custody of her children.

'I agree to hand over the custody of my children to my husband to be raised as Hindus,' Raimah said, before she broke down in tears.

Under Malaysian law, a non-Muslim must convert to Islam in order to marry a Muslim, and children born to Muslims must be raised as followers of that religion."

Forcible separation of Marimuthu from wife and six children - habeas corpus writ

It is getting worse and worse out there. The Taliban movement is taking over Islam and nothing seems to be able to stop it. I feel sorry for this poor guy and his family. The poor children especially, who are being told that their daddy is bad for not being a muslim. May peace be upon them.

Lim Kit Siang » Blog Archive » Forcible separation of Marimuthu from wife and six children - habeas corpus writ: "DAP National Chairman Karpal Singh will file habeas corpus application for rubber-tapper Marimuthu a/l Periasamy to be reunited with his wife, Raimah Bibi a/p Noordin and six children (Yogneswary 12, Paramila 11, Hariharen 8, Shamala 5, Ravindran 5 and Kuberan, 4) who had been forcibly separated from him for two weeks by Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS).

On 2nd April, 2007, seven officers from JAIS came to his house in Kampung Baru Tambahan Ulu Yam Lama, Selangor and told him that his wife of 21 years was a Muslim and that she and the six children must be placed in a rehabilitation centre.

Marimuthu, 44, had no choice but to let the officers take his family away.

He said an “ustaz” told him to convert to Islam or threatened to charge him for khalwat with Raimah."

Ghost Museum Closes After Muslims Complain It's Detrimental to Faith - International News | News of the World | Middle East News

The Religion of Peace and Tolerance bans something else. Why? Mainly because they are so INtolerant. What other reason do they need?


FOXNews.com - Report: Ghost Museum Closes After Muslims Complain It's Detrimental to Faith - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A Malaysian state has closed down a museum exhibition on ghosts, ghouls and supernatural beings after Islamic clerics claimed it was detrimental to Muslims' faith, newspapers reported Saturday.

The exhibition at the state museum in southern Negeri Sembilan has drawn some 25,000 visitors since it opened March 10. But it has also attracted criticism from religious scholars who charged the show was un-Islamic and based in fantasy, the New Straits Times reported.

Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Rais Yatim also disapproved of the exhibition, saying it was not beneficial to the community.

But the museum has claimed its aim was to educate the public. The exhibition capitalized on widespread fascination in Malaysia with otherworldly creatures from local legends and mythology. Reports said artifacts on display included alleged vampire carcasses and a mythical phoenix bird.

The Negeri Sembilan state government decided to halt the show Friday after the National Fatwa Council ruled it was forbidden under Islam as it could undermine Muslims' faith, The Star newspaper reported."
