Click on this icon to listen TONIGHT 9pm EST CALL IN:(347) 996-3944 Joining me will be Jerry Gordon, Israpundit and other freedom fighters to secure this man's release. Choudhury is in the fight for his life. Choudhury is a Bangladeshi journalist who is going on trial on October 12 for the bogus crime of sedition - punishable by death. In fact, Choudhury's only crime is believing that Muslims, Jews and Christians could get along. ACTION ITEMS: 1. Contact the Bangladeshi Ambassador to the U.S. Shamsher M. Choudhury at bdootwash@bangladoot.org or at 202-244-0183 and let him know that such behavior is unacceptable from "an ally of the U.S. in the war on terror." Bangladesh is currently the recipient of U.S. aid dollars and the government of Bangladesh needs to know that U.S. citizens will not stand for such behavior. 2. Contact Congressman Mark Kirk of Illinois to thank him for championing the cause of Mr. Choudhury. Congressman Kirk was able to secure Mr. Choudhury's release from prison once before after threatening to withhold U.S. aid to Bangladesh and his efforts to stop this severe human rights abuse should be encouraged. UPDATE: CHOUDHURY BEATING Soaib Chourdhury, courageous Bengali journalist attacked by 'hooligans' in Dhaka, the Bangladesh capitol , today. by Jerry Gordon and Dr. Richard Benkin Dr. Richard Benkin, human rights advocate received a phone call from besieged Bengali journalist, Shoaib Chourdhury. At approximately 1:00PM, Dhaka time today, Mr. Choudhury was viciously attacked at his newspaper by what he termed 'hooligans,' including open Islamic radicals and members of the ruling Bangladesh National Party (BNP). He identified one of his attackers as Helal Khan, International Affairs Secretary, Cultural Wing of the BNP. As they were beating him, his attackers called Mr. Choudhury an "agent of Jews." He has received treatment for his injuries, but security for both he and his family has not be renewed. It was withdrawn this week after Deputy Commissioner Shafiqul Islam received an anonymous letter complaining about the protection provided Mr. Choudhury after a bomb attack on his paper this past summer was deemed 'false.' This vicious attack on Mr. Choudhury comes just days before his scheduled appearance before an acknowledged Islamist judge (a member of the radical Jamaat ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh) in a Dhaka courtroom October 12th. Mr. Choudhury, an anti-terrorist Muslim and interfaith advocate, faces sedition charges and a possible death sentence for his efforts. Yesterday, Mr. Chourdhury was 'cut off' in mid conversation during a radio interview on the ZOA Middle east report ion WNWR.com that originates out of Philadelphia with both he and Dr. Benkin and program co-hosts, Lori Lowenthal Marcus and Steve Feldman.

It may have to do with the way the original page is formatted.

I used the spell check, which will format the page exactly, as long as you don't put in any HTML code.

Spell check isn't available on the 'post a thread' page, so it can be more difficult.

What I want to know is how do people post a picture as a link you can click on?

;-)

Oops, Important...close off the html source line with a </a>
I forgot to add it to my example.
It still works because I didn't add anything after the picture link.
If I had written additional text it would have become part of the clickable link...

if I forget to add </a> to the end this will happen. :~)

Here it is in correct format...
<a href="link you want to go to"><img src="link to pic you want to be clickable"></a>
