Who wears the gold? Wearing gold is against the rules of Islam.
A little cheer and pretty faces. Kashmiri muslim dancers wait their turn in India's Republic Day parade. Note the non burkas and jewelry indigenous to the Kashmiris. Some astute observers may notice similarties between the folk dresses, costume and jewelry of Eastern European and Baltic nations. Or has it always been my imagination?
If they're going to kill themsselves, anyway, this is just as good a way. What intrigues me is, if they're going to kill themselves, anyway, why do they bother searching the wreckage? To recover bomb making materials?
Exactly what parts are fiction?
"In Sulaymanyah, ~238 miles northeast of Baghdad, Iraqi Kurds protest Iraq's use of WMD agaisnt them. They remember Halabja, where Sadam already used poison gas in March 1988 to murder 4,000 souls, as is his way.
Experts estimate that between 5,000 and 7,000 residents were killed immediately while tens of thousands more were exposed over the years by drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated food. A photograph of a man shielding an infant with his body -- both were killed by the gas -- has become an icon of Kurdish suffering and a monument here.
The three Hamas turn themselves into 2.3 Humus, "as is their way". Once again, showing that bomb-making has "bad karmic repercussions".
Great job and perfect commentary.
Yeah don't forget the kids
The DUmbers will certianly latch onto that instantly, whether I brought up the subject or not..
But thanks for the rest of the pix. Nice work.
