BANGALORE, INDIA, January 22, 2007: Federal police were deployed and schools were shut in India's technology hub of Bangalore on Monday after communal rioting between Hindus and Muslims left one 12-year-old boy dead and dozens of people hurt. Protests by thousands of Muslims against last month's execution of Saddam Hussein in Iraq sparked a chain of violence over the weekend between the minority Muslims and nationalist Hindus, police and witnesses said. Riot police patrolled empty streets of downtown Bangalore on Monday but operations in the city's numerous software firms and call centers, mostly outside the city centre, were unaffected.

Muslims protesting against the execution of Iraq's toppled president clashed with police on Friday, ransacking shops owned by Hindus and burning at least 15 cars. Protesters at a rally on Sunday of the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (National Volunteer Corps) then attacked shops owned by minority Muslims and stoned vehicles, forcing police to fire on rampaging crowds, killing the boy. Police said at least 150 people had been arrested on Sunday.

I have just found myself "declassified" from a graduate program that I now realize I hate! I feel slightly embarrassed and humiliated, because somehow I feel like I failed. Most positions that I intended on applying my degree toward required a totally different area of interest. Somehow I thought MBA meant I could reach for the stars, now I feel like dirt on the back of a car bumber.
How would you advise one to approach such a delicate subject.
BTW my rejection notice feels worst than having my first born die in a horrible car accident.

Those who spout this nonsense are the same ones who have no idea about islam or have ever read the koran shame on you. Muslims believe in the god of Abraham the same god we do and the same god the Jews do!

A recent question asked what are the 3 biggest problems for mankind and which individual was doing most to resolve them.

Problems were: Environmental destruction, Poverty and Hate.

From the answers, no one person struck me as Iconic in this respect. So, if we had to, which single organisation would we give our allegiance to, assuming the above problems are the biggest?

as justification to spread hate and bigotry?

I just read the absurd answers for the gay going to heaven question.

You people quote hate from a book that tells of a God that could flood the whole earth and destroy whole cities. The Bible approves of killing pregnant women: Genesis 38:24, Numbers 31:17.

The God that I believe in is ashamed of that hateful book and they hateful people who spout the lies contained therein.

How do you justify yourselves to God.?

excuses they use to justify his lust for 9 year old aisha are as follows,
it was the cutom of the time
all men did it, so why blame only mohomed
he did not lust after her. he only maried her
allah wanted him to do it

does any of these pathetic excuses justify paedophilia? dont you think that a founder of any religion should lead holy and decent lives?

alright so the bible says homosexuality is a sin right right?
Well what if?
What if adam had a sex change and became andrea could then she be with steve???
Would that still be a sin??
Why so?? I mean he is no longer a male he is now a she.
It would be acceptable right?
How about me and jessy?
Is it wrong to be a homosexual or only when i act upon such?
Is it ok that i look at jessy,and just wrong when i touch her?
What if i would bang her with a strap--on?
Would that be sinful or less sinful?
I mean it would be like a guy doing her then.
