Sometimes it is necessary to be one step ahead of the terrorists.
Regarding Rushdie, I’ll add these links:

“Rushdie knighted in honours list”
ARTICLE SNPPET: “Salman Rushdie, who went into hiding under threat of death after an Iranian fatwa, has been knighted by the Queen.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “It was banned in many countries with large Muslim communities and in 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran’s spiritual leader, issued a fatwa, ordering Sir Salman’s execution.
In 1998, the Iranian government said it would no longer support the fatwa, but some groups have said it is irrevocable.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In backing Jack Straw over his comments on Muslim women wearing veils, Sir Salman said veils “suck” as they were a symbol of the “limitation of women”.
He also weighed into the furore surrounding the Danish cartoons, which satirised the Prophet Muhammad, warning against Islamic “totalitarianism”.
Of his knighthood for services to literature, Rushdie said: “I am thrilled and humbled to receive this great honour, and am very grateful that my work has been recognised in this way.””

“POLITICAL
NGO to Award $150,000 to Executor of Salman Rushdie”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- An Iranian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) announced that it would pay a $150,000 prize to anyone who could put into effect a death sentence decree issued by the Late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, against Salman Rushdie for blasphemy.
Secretary General of the Headquarters for Honoring the Martyrs of Islam World Movement Forouz Raja’ee-Far told FNA here on Sunday that his headquarters had announced in 2004 that it would pay $100,000 to anyone who could put into effect Imam Khomeini’s verdict and that after 3 years it has now raised the prize to $150,000.
Indian-born British author Salman Rushdie crushed Muslims’ sentiments and beliefs and sparked protests in Muslim countries around the world with his book The Satanic Verses. In 1989 the late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini issued a verdict of death sentence against him for blasphemy.
The move by the Iranian NGO follows a recent controversial move by the British Queen who awarded Rushdie with a knighthood.
Raja’ee-Far reminded that many world Muslims have voiced preparedness to exercise Imam Khomeini’s verdict since it was issued in 1989.
“And that’s why Salman Rushdie has been living with continued nightmares during all these 18 years,” he continued.
The NGO secretary general also added, “According to Imam Khomeini’s verdict, it is an obligation for all Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie even if he repents from the bottom of his heart and becomes the pious man of the time.”
“Also according to Imam’s verdict, if a non-Muslim person can find and execute Rushdie sooner than Muslims, it will be an obligation for Muslims to provide such a person with whatever he wants as his payment or prize,” he reminded.”

The pasta will be good.
Have tiramasou (sp?) every night for me.
In my observation, most things show up on the internet before the main stream media even smells it.
Hmm... this is rather unsettling news ... What do you think about it? (and how are you by the way!?)

Gaza convent, school looted and burned
Catholic News ^ | 6/18/07
Posted on 06/18/2007 8:23:24 PM PDT by abu afak
A school and convent in a Gaza Catholic compound were ransacked before being torched as fears rise among Christians over their future in the Hamas-ruled territory.
The school and convent were ransacked, burned and looted during clashes around a major security headquarters, the head of the community said yesterday, according to a report in the UK Guardian.
Crosses were broken, a statue of Jesus was damaged, and prayer books were burnt at the Rosary Sisters School and nearby convent, said Fr Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza’s Latin church.
The damage took place on Thursday, but wasn’t reported until days later because of the chaos that has prevailed since Islamic Hamas militants wrested power in Gaza, Fr Musallem said. The religious compound is located near a key security headquarters Hamas captured on Thursday on the final day of its Gaza takeover.
Gunmen used the roof of the school during the fighting, and the convent was “desecrated”, Mussalem said.
“Nothing happens by mistake these days,” he said...”

“Toronto police help British authorities smash global pedophile ring, 700 arrested”
Associated Press via Sun Media ^ | 2007-06-18 | (wire service)
Posted on 06/18/2007 9:29:34 AM PDT by Clive
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “LONDON (AP) — British police, with aid from U.S. investigators, have shattered a global Internet pedophile ring, rescuing 31 children and rounding up more than 700 suspects worldwide, authorities said Monday.”
Hey Mossad1967! Long time, no see. You get my various freepmails?
Unless they decide to send all 300 here at once to detonate simultaneously, I don't see it happening here. They'd lose too much face because it wouldn't top Sept 11th. The next one has to be much bigger than 911 to make a truly global statement. I could see the suicide bombers in London, though.
The leader of the team assigned to attack Great Britain spoke in English.
Well there's English and there's ENGLISH. What flies as not "suspicious" in London-istan might not play too well in L.A. That's LOWER ALABAMA!
Oh my, we’ve not heard from you in nearly a year. So glad to see you here again. I’ve thought of you often.....and wondered about you and your Venezuelan connections. You always had so much inside information about the situation down there.......not good right now. Our son just returned from there (and Chile, Argentina, Paraguay). Mr. RR and I were there about six weeks ago. We had to have bodyguards accompany us wherever we went.....rather scary.
Regarding the “unsettling news”......wish I had some foresight or insight on things that could come. But like most who post here, I just read the signs. And the signs don’t look good. But, then again, they haven’t for years. So, who knows?
Welcome back and please share what you know about the South America situation. You have first hand knowledge.
Well, poop. I meant for my post to be a private reply. Sorry. Oh, well.
Off Topic, but fyi:

“Five terrorists visited LV
Men made total of six trips between May, August”
REVIEW-JOURNAL
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The four hijackers thought to have been at the controls of the planes that crashed and killed thousands on Sept. 11 visited Las Vegas earlier this year, authorities said Thursday.
Authorities close to the investigation, which has sought to determine whether the terrorists had any ties to Las Vegas, confirmed that five of the 19 hijackers came here between May and August.
Of the five, four have been identified as the likely pilots of planes that crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. The fifth was on board the plane that struck the Pentagon.
Officials with the Las Vegas office of the FBI had no comment Thursday on any information federal authorities have uncovered locally and would not discuss possible reasons for the visits.
But terrorism experts said the five men might have been motivated more by business than pleasure.”

Asia/Pacific - India - Islam
“Mehdi followers arrested for instigating Muslim youths”
(”UNI,” June 16, 2007)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Raisen, India - Twelve people who were arrested yesterday for tutoring Muslim youths to wage a holy war, are followers of the controversial Mehdi sect, which believes that the ‘prophet’ would come to this world again when injustice increases.
One of the arrested, Mohammed Shakil, claimed that he was Mehdi and would become omnipotent in a few years.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Meanwhile, Mateen Khan and Athar Mohammed had claimed that the accused were motivating them for ‘jehad’ and taking them to New Delhi.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Those who came into contact with the accused claimed they were given inducements besides money for being taken abroad.
Bihar-resident Mohammed Shakeel, who studied up to class XII, came to New Delhi, where he married for the second time.
His second wife is reportedly posted in the Foreign Ministry.
Meanwhile, Shakeel wrote a book ‘Nabi Paigambar ke aane ki aahat’ and started distributing the book himself. Later, he declared that he was the ‘nabi (prophet)’ himself.
He reportedly succeeded in making 119 followers in various parts of the country.
Mateen claimed that Shakeel used to tell him that he was ‘nabi’. He was informed that a pledge would be administered in front of ‘nabi’ in New Delhi and preparations would be made for meeting Bin Laden.”

A New Indian Mahdi?
A new Mahdi claimant has arisen in India, one “Mohammad Shakil” al-Mahdi:
“Mehdi followers arrested for instigating Muslim youths”
(”UNI,” June 16, 2007)
SNIPPET: “Raisen, India - Twelve people who were arrested yesterday for tutoring Muslim youths to wage a holy war, are followers of the controversial Mehdi sect, which believes that the ‘prophet’ would come to this world again when injustice increases.
One of the arrested, Mohammed Shakil, claimed that he was Mehdi and would become omnipotent in a few years.”
The story goes on to say that while small (slightly over 100 followers), the group had members throughout India. Furthermore, after taking a “pledge” to the new Mahdi, they would be taken to meet Usama bin Ladin!”
Well, there’s a number for you nw in post 891.
The number is “119” which of course if 911 backwards.
Jihad...just another day.

“Border agent reinstated with back pay in retrial”

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
June 19, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A former U.S. Border Patrol agent, whose conviction in federal court for using excessive force during the arrest of an illegal alien was overturned because of prosecutorial misconduct, has been ordered reinstated with full back pay.
The District-based Merit Systems Protection Board ordered that Agent David J. Sipe, 35, of Bethany, Okla., be returned to full duty following his acquittal on all charges during a court-ordered retrial in January.
The order, granting full back pay and interest to April 2001, was signed last week by Administrative Judge Anna M. Love. “
