News & Events - August 2006

Well, It's probably a very ordinary problem but for me it matters. I am one of the members of the editorial board of my college magazine. Last year was very successful for me and i was on top. Now, the new chief editor is not so happy with me and always manages to find fault in my work. No probz even then but the team members, my collegues and juniors.they all are opposed to my ideas and thus against me. perhaps no one liked me gettting an undeclared rulership of the previous issue of the magazine. My major concern is regarding the post of chief editor. I shall be eligible for this precious post next year. Normally the present chief editor nominates his successor but with the advice of other team members. What do I do to come out of this situation. I am virtually dead at present anad all set to be burried if I don't resuscitate at once. And my post is well on stake. I can assure that I am the best deserving candidate for this post as my expertise in hindi and english plus experience.

I'm real curious...does anyone have any idea what a slappingfox is? Does it have any intelligence? Is it cheaper or deaper than a breadbox? Is it a Disease? Why does it have such a low IQ?
Is it because of it's natural blonde color? What species is it?
Is it rascist? Is it political or just a void space in this world? Please

I'm looking for links to Pro/Con debates. For example, is the media regulated and how? How will regulating the media benefit the users of the media? How will it hurt. I'm searching for unbiased information. This is a huge deal and I want to educate myself before the November election so I do not vote against my pocketbook as they may start charging me to ask these very questions... Thank you!

So, approximately one half of them may be destroyed within 7-8 years. And some are old. Still, they are a threat .... That still leaves over 3,000 nuclear weapons in our own backyards.
Hummmm. I guess that's enough to scare even those of us who live in the United States.
Much less our enemies.

John Mark Karr was released from custody today because his DNA did not match the DNA they had on JonBenet so it looks like he made up the whole story. What do you think should be done to someone for doing what he did or do you think he still had something to do with the murder regardless of the DNA?

I awaited with interest CNN’s much-touted report, “In the Footsteps of Bin Laden”, broadcast on Aug. 23 and likely to repeat several times. I was saddened and disappointed, however, when the program lumped this murderous outlaw with the millions of peaceful Muslims who abhor his perversion of all things good. Anchored by Christiane Amanpour, a woman whose earlier reportage had earned my respect, this report was a blatant call for more hatred and further violence and an escalation of tensions between Muslims and the West.

When a reputable network and prominent correspondent claim a young Islamic cleric gave Bin Laden religious approval to kill up to 10 million people in the West, this immediately justifies the actions of American troops to kill more Iraqis or brutalize their prisoners and for Israelis to kill more innocent civilians in Lebanon and Palestine.

It also negates the call of humanitarian organizations to protect the lives of innocent civilians and undermines the concerted efforts of the international community to end hostilities in the Middle East.

How long are we going to allow media networks to instigate hatred among the unsuspecting Western and non-Muslim communities with fabricated stories and lies such as the one carried by the CNN report?

This insidious comment that Muslims are allowed to kill 10 million Westerners by a fictitious character whose name and identity were never revealed is an obvious attempt to portray Muslims as killers.

The threat of “I will kill you” was repeated twice at the beginning and at the end of the report with an obvious stress on the word “kill” by one of the people who claims to have met Bin Laden. To specify the number that Muslims are allowed to kill implies that mass murder is one of the tenets of Islam. How sinister!

In the next few days, we probably will hear Muslims helplessly trying to contradict such assertions, and they will strongly condemn the report by reiterating that mass murder is unacceptable in Islam. However, we all know that the Muslim condemnations will fall on deaf ears as usual. The damage is already done. The only way to reverse this harm is to demand that CNN correct its present course of incitement against Muslims and refrain from obstructing attempts by many who present more accurate facts and viewpoints that could initiate genuine measures of reconciliation.

If we are to be convinced that the Bin Laden report was simply a case of providing information without incitement, then a similar report should be aired about the holy war that is being waged by the Christian fundamentalists, inside and outside the Bush administration, who believe that the establishment of modern Israel is the fulfillment of a Biblical prophecy and that any action taken by Israel is part of God’s design.

Accordingly, a divine mission is in the making and must take its course. Muslims would like to see a commentary on the Israeli soldiers’ behavior in Lebanon and Palestine that is also justified by Biblical instructions. They would like to hear Amanpour bring the quotes from the Bible (Joshua, 11:11-12) that sanctions mass destruction and killings. “And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was not any left to breathe ... and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.”

Let the CNN expose to the world why some in the West have become indifferent to the killing and suffering of children and why they tolerate the mass murder of innocent Muslim civilians. It is Jewish and Christian apocalyptic fanaticism that produces the intensity of vengeance resulting in the killing of children and destruction in Lebanon. It also is obvious that the CNN report is part of a sinister plan to justify Israeli brutality by fabricating lies about Islam and Muslims.

The continuing tactics of the Christian fundamentalist holy war perpetrators have been to precede their vicious terror acts with similar accusations against the Muslims. The Muslim world would be accused of what the powerful Christian fundamentalists or the Zionists plan to do so as to justify their actions or transgressions claiming that they are carried out in retaliation or to pre-empt attacks on them.

They are waging a war on terror that they themselves instigate. To cover their brutal acts against Muslims they have labeled them as terrorists, fascists and fabricated lies about the principles and tenets of Islam. Western and American media networks always focus on Bin Laden’s holy war. They forget that he has been outlawed by his government and shunned by his people while the perpetrators of the Christian fundamentalists and Zionist holy wars are legitimized by their governments.

I ask you now: Who are the fascists, and who are the terrorists?

Analysts believe that Washington is embarking on the “drain-the-swamp” policy in the Middle East to rid the region of all voices that resent occupation and submission and aspire for liberty and freedom. They assert that the danger of this policy stems not only from the fact that it will further destabilize the region and make it safer for dictators but also because of so-called “divine inspiration.”

It is time to stop irresponsible media networks from poisoning the minds of the unsuspecting, ignorant and misinformed public. It is time for the reputable media to attract courageous Western people of conscience and allow them to speak out and forge new peaceful initiatives that could save humanity from the real destructive forces of evil.

The media — all media — should support the calls for peace and allow levelheaded political analysts and real men of peace to educate the misinformed public about the policies that threaten us all.

Reporters and journalists need to deliver honest coverage that aims to clear away suspicions and misconceptions that have led to conflicts and wars. Journalists must contribute to change the direction of US/Israeli policy of occupation, aggressions and assassinations that is terrorizing the Middle East. Their disrespect for international law is threatening our world with more terrorist acts. Their slogan of war on terror should be replaced with the more accurate “Reign of Terror.”

The military path will only bring destruction to our world. If the Christian fundamentalists are working toward this end it should not become the mission of the rest of the world. We have had enough hypocrites and warmongers who pollute television screens with their hatred and lies. Terrorism is a universal threat, and fighting it should be a global goal.

All I am saying is stop the saber rattling and give peace a chance.

How could two cases be bungled more? And not just the police, but the DA's office too? Which team do you think had a better chance to solve their case had it not been for their own shortcomings?

they said that he won't be charged for the murder of JonBenet. do u think they are right? that he isnt the killer? well i think he is the killer. even if they dont charge him for the murder of JonBenet, they should still put him in jail for all the other bad things he did. i know i might sound like im rushing to judge, but he still should be put in jail.

Please tell me wat u think of all of this:)

Thank You:)

I knew that John Mark Karr wasn't involved, he was just fixated on poor Jon Benet from following the case!
I hope this little girl's real murderer is brought to justice, it's just too bad that her mother didn't ever see closure. At least she is with her daughter again.
