I could use a bit of help ! NBC is running another "Bush-bash" this weekend:the claim being the President thrice refused to act against Abu Musab Zarqawi in June 2002 "when he was vulnerable". NBC is relying on Michael O'Hanlon of the (liberal Democrat) Brookings Institution,and ROGER CRESSY , their Counter-terrorism "expert".

MADRID, January 12 (IslamOnline.net) - Teaching Islam in Spanish schools has finally found its way to implementation after almost a decade of delays and obstacles. Since coming to power in the European country, Spain's new Socialist government under Jose Rodriguez Zapatero has made a host of good gestures toward the Muslim community in the country, the most remarkable of which was a decision to allow the teaching of Islamic subjects at public schools of major cities with significant Muslim presence. The long-awaited development saw the light early January, 2005. The government decision on teaching Islam only stipulates giving definition lessons...
