It was obviously a conspiracy!
And i noticed people started relating Islam to terrorism after that especially in the U.S, so therefore I conducted a research to see whether allah (same god as christians and jews) asked for his people to kill like that


This is what I came up with. It is forbidden in Islam to:

Hurt/Kill someone when they do not know
Hurt/Kill Women, children and elderly
Hurt/Kill unarmed people
Hurt/Kill anyone they're not attacking your land (e.g. Iraq, it is their land)

And I also found out that Bin Ladin actually owns oilfields in Texas and has family deals going back to the 60's with bush's family, so that explained everything, it wasn't a holy war (unless you are one of them and money and oil is your religion then I guess it is holy war)

We read that to justify their very exstance after their '110% Madeleine home by Christmas' disaster, Metado 3, the Manuel of all detective agencies have again lanched an attack on Robert Murat. We read that 2 sisters Annie Wiltshire and Jayne Jensen who had a drink with Robert in the Algarve on 4th May have suddenly remembered that 'He was wearing a navy blue t-shirt and jeans and was very sweaty.
“He said he had to go for a shower because he had been in the same clothes all day, but Jayne claimed she had seen him in a striped shirt and trousers earlier.

Clear evidence then that a man sweating in the Algarve in May must be guilty of something... who writes this crap for Metado 3 ?

I missed a page in my baby's memory book and would like to fill it in but CNN, FOX and Wkipedia haven't helped in tracing info from that date.
If anyone can help me with a link/website/or info, i'd be appreciative.
Also, who are some famous leaders from the time stated?

Thank you so much in advance.

As far as i concern , there was no post-mortem carrried out for such influencial person. Well, I ponder why do the Pakistani rush to bury her without much organisation and examination, she was buried the day after she was assasinated.

Will Pakistan plunge into a situation similar to Iraq? I think politic is a very tricky game in this region, one mistake by the leader can lead to the country into complete chaotic. I believe it is going to a while before peace can be restored.
It's also strange to witness that people are vandalising and being violent on the street. Revenge only make things worse i guess.Have they not learn from their neighbour Iraq or Aghanistan?

There seems to be confusion on how she died, yesterday she had been shot, and today in the news her skull had been fractured

There's a local paper looking for journalists. I have a little expierence with a different local paper that's distributed monthly....I've done 3 articles for them. Anyway, this new paper is on a much larger scale but I want to get in so badly. My question is do I show up with my resume/cover letter/writing samples when I know the managing editor is going to be there and ask to give it to him directly? Or do I submit it via email the way the help wanted ad said? I only ask because its a journalism position, so I feel like being bold and showing up there would show my capability. Which do I do?

It was a bullet to the neck. No, it was a bullet to the chest. No, it was whiplash.

Honestly, who gives a rats ***. It's still a murder. Are some idiots actually going to portray it as a lesser crime if she died "indirectly"?

Ugh.

I have an old newspaper from Wednesday, October 4, 1995. The front page news that day announced that O.J. was found 'not guilty' of the murder of his wife & Ron Goldman. How much do you think the paper could be worth, & should I hold on to it? Or, should I try to sell it? Anyone interested?!

Opinions, please. Thanks for your time, in advance.

Did you see much on FOX NEWS CHANNEL over the Christmas time? Wasn't it refreshing to hear many of them unashamedly talking about Jesus, and His birth? And even telling us 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' instead of 'Happy Holidays' ? Don't you believe God will bless Fox News for not being 'politically correct'?

"Two months before her death, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto sent an e-mail to her U.S. adviser and longtime friend, saying that if she were killed, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf would bear some of the blame."

Who and Why. Also, if you could include links to news articles or wikipedia pages it would be much appreciated.

In the back of everyone's mind sits a dark little bug that fascinates about how a villain’s mind works. It's hard for "normal" people to imagine doing what our morals will not allow us to do.

I was good friends with a guy in high school. Shortly after I graduated I heard the news that my friend had tortured another individual for several hours, before smashing his victim’s head in with a large rock. I was in shock that my good friend was capable of such a horrific thing! He was executed summer of 2007 for his crime. It got me thinking... How could I allow someone with an ability to act on his evil impulses to be so close to me? Nonetheless, I still consider him a good friend.

Right now the most recent news story says:

"Official: Bhutto killed by shrapnel"

then right above that in big letters with a bright yellow background

"Benazir Bhutto died from hitting her car's sunroof; no bullet or shrapnel found in her, Pakistan’s Interior Ministry says."

Pick a story and go with it.

I believe that a lot of people don't see Bush and Clinton as the most admired people. I can think of many items that would be just cause to not admire either of them. What do you think? Please share your opinion and the reasoning for your opinion.

And the nerve of the Sun to call him a "one-eyed oddball", I am glad I don't buy that cr@p!
This story is getting ridiculous, these two sisters expect us to beleive they have waited 8 months to mention a sighting?
What do you make of it?
