Man holds sign mocking Islam outside home of Muslim candidate for Maryland House of Delegates
August 13, 2006 7:06 PM

BALTIMORE (AP) - A protester staked out the home of a Muslim candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates, holding a sign and wearing a T-shirt that mocked Islam.

Timothy Truett sat in a folding chair Saturday on the cul-de-sac outside Saqib Ali's home in Gaithersburg with a sign reading ''Islam sucks,'' and a shirt with the slogan, ''This mind is an Allah-free zone.''

Montgomery County police sent a trespass notification form to Truett warning that he would be subject to arrest on trespassing charges if he steps onto Ali's property within the next year.

Truett called his protest ''an experiment,'' explaining: ''I had heard that Muslims were generally intolerant of views other than their own, and so I thought I would put it to the test.''

Israel army 'ordered to observe truce'

ISRAELI Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered the army to observe a ceasefire in Lebanon from 2am today (0900 AEST) except in self defence, the Haaretz newspaper's website said.

It said some troops would be withdrawn from southern Lebanon immediately while others would remain to hand over to an international force.

A UN-brokered truce between Israeli forces and Hezbollah guerrillas is formally due to take effect at 0500 GMT (1500 AEST).
