President Pervez Musharraf has opened a new and
especially bitter confrontation with radical Islam by
trying to rewrite Pakistan's controversial rape laws.
These place an almost impossible burden of proof on
women by compelling them to produce four "pious" male
witnesses to prove rape or risk being convicted of
adultery and face 100 lashes or death by stoning.
This law, known as the Hudood Ordinance, has been
regarded as untouchable since its passage 27 years
ago.
It also sets no minimum age for sex with girls, saying
only that they should have reached puberty. A powerful
militant Muslim lobby regards this code as sacred and
based on Koranic texts and sharia law. No previous
Pakistani leader, not even the country's first female
leader, Benazir Bhutto, dared reform it.
But Gen Musharraf's allies in parliament sparked the
fury of the militant opposition by introducing a Women
Protection Bill. This would remove the requirement for
four male witnesses to prove rape and set 16 as the
age of consent for sex with girls.
When this measure came before parliament, Islamic
radicals responded by tearing up copies of the bill
and storming out. "This bill is against the Holy
Koran," said Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of the
militant opposition. "We reject it and will try to
block it in any possible manner." Other MPs chanted
"death to Musharraf" and "Allah is great."

The people who voted for Mr. Bush are getting exactly what they voted for. There are no surprises here. So why has his approval rating gone downward?

in the west coast with nuclear weapons, Im sure the country would be in chaos by this horrible event. People would be trying to do anything to pass the border to Mexico. Do you think it would be fair for the Mexican gov. to build a wall and have mexican vigilantes on the border in order to stop "illegal" Americans from passing by? I mean, Americans just like any other being have the survival instinct to do whatever it takes to survive.

My grand mother on my mothers side is from the island of Lemnos Greece. She left property there when she left for the USA and I am trying to locate who and how to verify its location and registry if any to legally sell it for my mother or possibly retire there myself. The only t hing we know is the name of the town its in, but no one seems to know its exact location on the island. I need some help on advice and possible contacts that could help with finding out more info before I make the trip over. I do not speak Greek and my mother is too old to make the trip. This subject has been on her mind for 75 years and I would like to finalize it for ASAP. There has been some contact about it in the past several years from a friend she had over there but the friend has since passed and we do not know who to contact on the island. We need email or name of help on island of Lemnos. Thanks for any help.

HOW much abuse of freedom do people have to endure and where does it end .
Can you imagine your state occupied by a foriegn government or people that want to change your way of life and thinking .
THIS was done in america once .IT was called the civil war and out of this war came violence for years and years in america .THE people we freed did not attain freedom and to this day many feel thet are not free in america .
CIVIL rights came 100 years to late for many people we today call americans . Second class is not an american .WE have many second class people here today and it is beyond comprehention that we invaded another country and intend to allow the same treatment to occur there .SUNNI and SHIA may as well be the north and the south .THIS violence is going to play out over years and we will pay the price in american lives if we do not leave soon .

Mark Morice took a neighbor's boat in the aftermath of Katrina and rescued over 200 people who were stranded. (Owners of the boat had evacuated-so no he did not get their permission.) He saw an opportunity to help his fellow man, and now he is being sued....

I would think this boat was damaged during the storm or could've been valdalized in the days that followed, but in MHO, this man is a hero.This kind of greed makes me want to puke!
Thoughts?

Republicans are this, and Democrats are that!
Conservatives are evil, and Liberals are Lazy.
Everybody sounds like spoiled children arguing over who's the coolest.
Why is it all about name calling here?
Where are the political questions?
Is anyone else here nervous that there are so many people like Ah Ha and Pero in the World?
Would these people start a civil-war before compromising?

NO one can conger up the devil or perform any ritual to bring about a curse on anyone else but it was this fear several hundred years ago that had some people hanged burned and drowned all in an effort to thwart evil from among us .
TODAY those witches have become terrorists and the very methods we are using today were used in the past . WHEn we discovered our errors in the past we corrected them .
Special attention is given to our laws because such abuse of power ended so tragiclly in the past .
However today we face the same abuses of the past in the name of terrorism we can do anything to root it out .THE same was true of the witches which we all know did not pose a threat except to believers .We are on a terroist hunt today and it bothers me the leanghts to which good people are willing to go in an effort to root them out .
MANY people have been released from custody who had nothing to do with terror in this country only after 6 months or a few years by efforts of family. INNOCENT
