Thanks for the ping, Mama Dearest.
A children's television program broadcast by the recognized terrorist organization Hamas welcomed child viewers to decide the fate of a thieving pink bunny, whom the children sentenced to having his hand chopped off for his crime.
Fanatics want to replicate '47 massacre
United Jihad Council chairman Syed Salahuddin on Friday strongly condemned the reported entry of ‘Hindu suicide squads’ in Jammu province and the announcement by Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackary of visiting the region along with 10,000 activists as an attempt to replicate the bloodbath of Nov 1947.
“The motive behind the arrival of extremists,” he said in a statement, “was to launch murderous attacks on unarmed Muslims….to force them flee their homes and rehabilitate non-Muslims in their place to change the demography of Jammu and Kashmir.”
CMP said Friday that money from the sales of counterfeit items like handbags and jewelry seized during a raid at the 1000 Islands Mall this week was being funnelled to gangsters and terrorists around the world.
"The danger aspect for these types of products is the funding aspect of the organized crime and the terrorist groups," said Sergeant Michael Harvey of the federal force's Cornwall detachment.
Government tardy securing radioactiive material
The government is taking too long to secure radioactive materials across the country that could get into terrorists' hands, according to a government report.
Radioactive material used for legitimate purposes in medical equipment and food, for instance, could be used to create an explosive device known as a dirty bomb. Experts believe such an attack would be contained to a small area but could have significant psychological impact and have serious economic consequences because of cleanup problems.
Fabric blocks radiation, chemical, biological hazards
Ronald DeMeo places a radioactive wafer about the size of a silver dollar on his desk and waves a handheld Geiger counter over it. The machine chatters wildly, the numbers on the readout spin upward and visitors instinctively lean back.
But when the Coral Gables doctor covers the disc, which is designed for materials testing and quite safe, with a thin piece of fabric, the numbers dive and the noise from the Geiger dips to a low growl.
It's an effective demonstration of Demron -- the radiation-blocking material of DeMeo's invention -- and one that his Coral Gables company, Radiation Shield Technologies, hopes will find a receptive audience in a post-9-11, security-conscious world.
The patented fabric -- just slightly thicker than denim -- is embedded with metal particles and other compounds capable of blocking X-rays, low-energy gamma rays and other types of nuclear emission that might be found anywhere from a doctor's office to the site of a dirty bomb blast.

That is really GREAT NEWS about the Demron fabric.
That Hamas childrens television show is truly evil. A society that values their children so little is really disturbing.
