Good news at last

With all the doom and gloom going on at the moment I'm very happy to report some good news. Ahmadinejad's health might be deteriorating.

The health of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is deteriorating, according to reports in the Islamic Republic.

A top aide to Ahmadinejad, Amir Mansour Borghei, told journalists the president was "indisposed".

Iranian news Web site Shahab said doctors had advised the president to reduce his workload if he wanted to avoid illness, quoting "sources close to the government."
The Web site indicated that the president had pulled out of the engagements due to fatigue caused by low blood pressure.

However, other sources in Teheran speculated that the opposition was spreading rumors about Ahmadinejad's health in order to garner support for next year's elections.

Lets hope its worse than his mental illness.

Israel treats cancer stricken Iranian boy

Incredibly the identity of the family of this child has to be kept secret lest they face persecution upon returning to Iran - because they sought help from Israelis (Jews) in their quest to save the life of their child.

The comments section of the Liveleak broadcast includes this from one poster claiming "so fucking what? They have Jewish hospitals in Iran...Do Israeli's allow Iranian hospitals in Israel?....No..I thought not!"

Pakistan President gets fatwa

He has only been in the job for 5 minuites yet the new Pakistani president, Asif Ali Zardari, has had a fatwa issued against him for "flirting" with Sarah Palin at the UN.

Muslim leaders in Pakistan have issued a fatwa against the country's new president for allegedly flirting with U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week.

A radical prayer leader in Pakistan said Asif Ali Zardari shamed the nation for "indecent gestures, filthy remarks, and repeated praise of a non-Muslim lady wearing a short skirt."

At the meeting between the pair, Zardari smiled, shook Palin's hand and engaged in a conversation with her. After meeting the vice presidential candidate, Zardari said he was very impressed by her.

Cool dude

Making peace is about sitting down and and talking with your enemies, not your friends, so the old saying goes. Of course, sitting down and talking is a prerequisite to the process.

Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa said in an interview with the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat that a regional organization should be formed "even if we don't recognize each other," and that the purpose would be to try to resolve disputes.

In a speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Sheikh Khaled called for such a Middle East organization to include countries "without exception."

Asked by Al-Hayat if it would include Israel, he replied, "With Israel, Turkey, Iran and Arab countries. Let them all sit together in one group... This is the only path to solve our problems.

"Why don't we all sit together even if we have differences and even if we don't recognize each other? Why not become one organization to overcome this difficult phase?" the paper quoted him as saying.

The unravelling of the Syria Iran axis?

Is the secretive (ish) peace process between Israel and Syria starting to take its toll on the Syria/Iran alliance. It would seem so......

Iranian intelligence agencies have recently issued a travel advisory urging officials holding sensitive positions and top Hizbullah figures to refrain from visiting Syria for fear of possible assassination attempts and terror attacks against them, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday.

The car bomb explosion near Damascus last week, which killed a senior Syrian army officer and 16 civilians, spotlighted the unprecedented tension between Syria, Iran and Iran's offshoot in Lebanon Hizbullah.

Syrian President Bashar Assad said an Arab state was responsible for smuggling into Syria the car and explosives used in the attack, but did not name the country he suspected.

In another sign of the deteriorating relations between Syria and Iran, Assad ordered the deployment of thousands of troops along the border with Lebanon after calling the country a security threat.

Iran continues to transfer arms to Hizbullah in violation of UN Resolution 1701, which ended the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.

Meanwhile, Hizbullah has accused Assad of leaking classified information regarding the Lebanese Shiite group's plans to kidnap Israeli businessmen abroad.

According to information obtained by Yedioth Ahronoth, top Assad advisor Brigadier General Mohammed Suleiman secretly visited Paris two months ago and disclosed information regarding Hizbullah's plan to abduct two Israeli businessmen in Thailand and in one of the Gulf States.

Suleiman, who also served as Syria's liaison officer to Hizbullah, was assassinated in the Syrian port city of Tartous shortly after Hizbullah's plans were made public in Israel.

Holocaust denial and freedom of speech

I'm totally against making Holocaust denial a criminal offence anywhere in the world. It's totally counterproductive and undermines the concept of freedom of speech.

Furthermore, it makes martyr's out of the deniers and gives them completely undeserved publicity to spout their nonsense (there's no such thing as bad publicity)

Secondly I believe that freedom of speech should be enshrined in law - if that means Holocaust denial, plays claiming Jesus to be gay, the drawing of Mohammed cartoons etc then so be it.



Just for good measure here's a picture of the arrested Holocaust denier, Gerald Toben, pictured with Mel "all wars are started by Jews" Gibson's father, Hutton Gibson.

Where will this pc lunacy end?

After a meeting, of the Manchester students' union executive, it was decided that the name "Gents" (for men's toilets) and "Ladies" (for women's toilets) is offensive to transgendered students at the university.

The traditional sign on the door of the Gents has been temporarily replaced with one that says 'toilets with urinals'.

And the sign on the Ladies now simply says 'toilets' in a move to make the lavatories more inclusive for trans-gender students.

The signs on the toilets in the basement of Manchester University students' union were changed after a meeting of the union's executive in the summer.

It is thought the temporary ones will be replaced with permanent new signs in the near future.

Jennie Killip, women's officer at the students' union, put forward the idea of installing the new signs after receiving complaints from trans-gender students about the facilities.

She said: "The idea is that trans-gender people feel more comfortable using their student union.

"Trans-gender people can face violence and abuse when they go into toilets and we wanted to provide a place where they can feel comfortable.

"I have had complaints from people who said we didn't have any facilities for them."

I'm not sure what this precisely means, for the toileting habits of transgendered people in public places, but reading between the lines it would seem the complainants would see fit that transgendered men use Ladies toilets and vice versa.

There's a twist in the tale though.

Second-year literature and linguistics student Jane McConnell, 19, is a news editor on the Student Direct student newspaper.

She said: "While these signs might be appropriate for people with different sexualities in the community of the University of Manchester, I also think that many people from different religious and ethnic groups are going to feel uncomfortable using these facilities.

"I think they might believe the university union aren't reflecting their beliefs and choices and that they are going to feel very uncomfortable using these toilets.

"Even though they're just two signs, at the end of the day, toilets should be for women and for men specifically, not for both."

Hilarious. Maybe we'll end with separate toilets to cater for different sexualities, religions etc.
