Thanks Much! I see MD has the article above my post. Twice is better than none at all.
Yep.
No problem and at least you saw it (winking).
SNIP: Police officials in the UK are in a heap of trouble for publishing what's being described as an offensive and sacrilegious illustration in an article about overly sensitive law enforcement, acccording to the BBC. The illustration in the Police Federation magazine shows officers taking their shoes off outside a mosque, as a bearded man escapes clutching bags of explosives.
The cartoon was described by the editor of the magazine as an effort to mock the force's advice that officers remove their shoes before entering Muslim properties, but some officers called it an insensitive stereotypical portrayal of Muslims. The editor apologized.
Ordinary youths turning to terrorism
Snip: Ordinary youths turning to terrorism Monday, Nov 14, 2005 "He [Misno] wasn't especially religious and neither am I. He was a normal kid." Mat Sukarto last saw his son in August when he told him he was leaving Java island to seek construction work elsewhere in Indonesia. The 58-year-old farmer has now had to accept that Misno took a different path and joined the country's growing list of suicide bombers.
"I remember thinking he had no real problems in life. The only thing that was missing was that he was not married," the father said on Saturday. "I feel like I have been beaten up. If only I knew beforehand of his plans, I would have tried to prevent them." His son Misno, who uses a single name, was one of three young militants who blew themselves up at crowded restaurants on the resort island of Bali last month, killing 20 people and wounding more than 100 others.
Canadian firm sacks and suspends Muslim workers
Snip: 11/12/2005 A famous national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group said today that Canada-based electronics manufacturer Celestica Inc. has allegedly fired or suspended 16 more Muslim workers at its Minnesota facility over issues related to workplace religious accommodation, U.S. Newswire reported.
Muslim workers at Celestica's Arden Hill plant tell the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that nine employees and contract workers have been suspended and seven others have been fired in a dispute over shifting a lunch-break during the recently-concluded Islamic fast of Ramadan. The employees say they were let go for taking an “unauthorized break” at sunset, even though they say they had requested to move their lunch break to that time.
