What are we discussing here? Are we discussing the texts of Islam? This is what Salman Ahmed Shaikh and others (Muslims) would like to discuss … ON THEIR TERMS … meaning that the Koran et al are TRUTH and cannot be questioned. Nonsense. The Myths of Muslims are their own myths … nothing more.
The fact is … as a citizen of the West … my thoughts are contained in this YouTube Video by Pat Condell:
As usual … he's right on … shame on Obama … shame on Clinton … shame on the State Department … FOR APOLOGIZING to the raging Muslims !!!!
Dude why talk about rage yourself?
Your diction, typing, thoughts seem to be of one who is permanently enraged. Why blame others when you are on rage-steroids yourself.
Gee what an artist...
Are you familiar with the concept of projecting? Must say, you are quite good at it...
MESSAGE to all who think PROTESTS are WRONG
A person is not a muslim unless he believes in all the prophets from all the religion. None of the muslim don't allow such disrespect to any of the prophets. If such video is made against Jesus or Moses even then muslims reaction would have been the same.
We have discussing to strengthen laws against blasphemy but why don't we pass a global law not to insult any prophets or religions.
Now even if some is happy for such acts against prophets he is a ZIONIST (the follower of devil).
I would also like to ask that have you ever found any video against MOSES or JESUS made by a MUSLIM???
I think this comment is a food for thought for the sensible people.
You said: "… unless he believes in all the prophets from all the religion …"
You MUSLIMS think all previous prophets WERE MUSLIM … including Abraham, Moses and Jesus!
You MUSLIMS think that the Jews and Christians are not following the 'teachings' of these prophets because ONLY MUSLIMS KNOW THE RIGHT PATH!
You MUSLIMS think Jesus did not die on the cross … and you MUSLIMS think Jesus is not God or the Son of God … insulting what the Christians believe [but SOMEHOW the Muslims know better?]
We in the West will NEVER ALLOW BLASPHEMY LAWS which intrude on our civil rights … the right to free speech and the freedom to express ourselves … is sacrosanct under the 'rule of law'
THAT'S A SENSIBLE THOUGHT … let the Muslims adjust … just because YOU believe YOUR OWN bullshit … doesn't mean I HAVE TO ACCEPT YOUR BULLSHIT … YOUR MYTHS ARE YOUR OWN … THEY ARE ONLY MYTHS … UNPROVEN BY HISTORICAL RESEARCH … AND OBVIOUSLY CRAFTED BY MAN FOR MAN …
You said: "… if some is happy for such acts against prophets he is a ZIONIST (the follower of devil)"
Fuck off and die. You're a scumbag … a shithead … an asshole … fuck the Prophet … that lowlife pedophile … I hope for the day that the Muslims get their comeuppance from the Israelis … may the holy one blessed be he … send them all to hell … INSHALLAH! LOL
Two can play this game!
Wow amazed with your decent conversation. This language truly shows evil your inside. I really pity that you used such words.
I will definitely not reply in the same tone as its against the teachings of my beloved Prophet MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him).
Yes we do believe that all the prophets brought down the same message over time and worshiped same God, if you wish you may not call them muslim. Its the same message revealed over time. Similarly one book has many editions and when a new edition comes the old one isn't deemed to be followed.
You must go back to all the religious scriptures and you will find the same message and common terms. Religions and scriptures have been deliberately misinterpreted over time to fulfill worldly means.
I would suggest before making such comments read Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) preachings and Quran.
The reply to your second post: I'm not aware of such things but I'm sure the Prophet and his family has not been shown or targeted at any cost. I have given the solution to pass a global law that solves your and my problem.
YES you are right I must not waste my time in conversation with a person of such a low grade character.
I pray that may Allah show you the right path as you have totally gone astray. Ameen

I just can't understand you - he is being honest - nothing wrong with what he said!
Just Like a Muslim
When you disagree with someone instead of attacking his logic ATTACK Him.
Islam a Religion of Peace.
Dear friend,
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is more dearest to any muslim than his father, mother, family, friends, or property or any other thing that exists in this world.
If some use such "beautiful" words as used by tzatz for our father or mother. What will be our reaction?? Will we still be quiet and say:
"I just can't understand you - he is being honest - nothing wrong with what he said!"
I guess you know the answer?? Stay blessed
These riots have proven once more the old dictum that all politics are local. It is true that many Muslims are offended by what they perceive as attacks on their prophet and faith but look closely and you will find each riot in each country is unique and has uniquely local political and social agenda.
The Hezbollah march few days ago is a case in point. It was the biggest in the Arab world and largely peaceful. This is Hezbollah showing their Sunni Lebanese rivals, who earlier in the week were reducued to attacking Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets in Tripoli, that the Shias have bigger birds to fry. Amongst the waves of yellow Hezb emblems there were sufficient smattering of Syrian(Assad) flags waved with gusto by eager hands The message to Assad's Lebanese and Syrian enemies was this: Look at how strong we are and make no mistake we are with him.
In the Sudan, the humiliated Salafist firenbrand ideologues like Al-Turabi were showing the Khartoum government they are still here. You cannot even protect the Diplomatic corps area of the Capital. We are coming for you Al-Bashir.
The Libyan Salafist fanatics were testing the sands to check how popular they are in the new Libya and how much they can get away with. It appears the Libyan people gave them their answers today: Not very and not much.
Libyans were exemplary kicking Ansar al-Sharia where it hurts the most (out of Benghazi). Not bad for the country that most "Islamic Winter" advocates were writing off as the next Al Qaeda haven. Let's hope Arabs around the world follow suit and put those salafists in their place!
Why is this article in the Africa and ME section when 70% of Muslims live in Asia?
The picture is almost same as that of the Chinese rioting, looting, attacking Japanese shops, restaurants, factories or attacking Japanese in the street.
People with one god and people without god but one party are helpless.
At last, some good news:
1. 1,000 extremist Muslims demonstrating against free speech in Benghazi were surrounded and pacified by 10,000 moderate Muslims without loss of life.
2. In Sydney, where extremist Muslims were expected to be met by right wing "patriotic" thugs, everyone stayed home after 2 people were arrested & charged with inciting a riot, and the Muslim theocracy stood beside the police, asking for restraint. Saturation policing was deployed, using bicycles and pepper sprays. ..... Really.
3. In Islamabad and Karachi Muslim mobs rioted against free speech. They were met by Muslim security forces, with rubber bullets tears gas and, get this, rocks. 4 died.
Outrage done by Islam true because no one have a right to insult the religious belief.. if the Islam do the same with US religion,its sure US follow the same by deploying the military...
1. there is no 'US religion' - religion and state are separated by law
2. there are many religions and all have equal protection from the state
3. if you are insulted, you take you grievance to court
4. freedom of opinion is as important as a right to live.
But I'm afraid points above are beyond understanding by average Muslim - given recent events.
Having said above - people responsible for that movie are just 'nonpunishable murderers' with a blood of victims on their hands. They are a classic case of sub-human bottom-feeders.
Americans insult Christianity all the time. Some years ago a so-called artist with funding from the government agency the National Institute of the Arts produced a work called "Piss Christ". It was a glass container filled with urine with a Crucifix incerted in it. About the same time some so-called artist of Ethiopian origin produced a large picture of the Virgin Mary with elephant dung stuck all over it. This was hung in the Brooklyn (New York) Museum of Art. Catholics all over the country, including the Mayor of New York City at the time, Rudolph Giuliani, were outraged. However, in the interests of freedom of expression the picture remained on exhibit at the museum. Mormons have had to endure having a Broadway musical made about their holy book, "The Book of Mormon." They didn't bother to register their dismay because they knew it wouldn't do any good.
I don't agree that the people who made the film are "nonpunishable murderers" now that I've found out that it was Salafists who dubbed the film into Arabic and showed in on an Egyptian Salafist tv station which was carried on an Egyptian government owned satellite. As far as I'm concerned these people have blood on their hands.
Dear Mary, Secular priorities put freedom of expression on top. Muslims put Love of Prophet (peace be upon him) on top. We may tolerate blasphemy, but not slandering of our Prophet (p.b.u.h). I know how this sounds and seems, but there it is. It is harder to deal with slander against him for Muslims than for Americans to tolerate restrictions on (hate) free-speech.
I do not think it is OK or tolerable to portray Jesus or Mary in the manner you have referred to, no matter what principle is at stake. Nobody can get away with such crass exhibition in Pakistan. There are laws against such indecent expression relating to religious personalities (of any religion). We would never tolerate this in Pakistan, and we would expect others to be cognizant of our sensitivities.
Freedom comes with responsibility. Renouncing responsibility ought to equate with restriction on freedom. When Muslims (in Pakistan for instance) see this axiom violated, they blame the US government. Hence the anger and rage.
Mary, I would appreciate you providing a reference to the Salafists dubbing the film. I do not like Salafists and I would like to investigate what they have done in this matter. Thanks.
following your line o thoughts:
we should not accuse clerics, who expressed their 'opinions' during Friday prayers, which inflated religious frenzy;
if we are to avoid double standards, my post stands;
on cannot use freedom of speech as a shield against moral responsibility;
if one speaks up its mind and as a result someone dies, one becomes 'nonpunishable murderer'
Here you have it,
Muslims insult all religions every day, whenever they say Allah is the only god and Islam is the ONLY true religion.
But you dont see people rioting for that.
Christians die every day in countries such as Nigeria at the hands of Muslim terrorists. Churches are burned.
Bhagawan Ji (are you serious with that name?) you are a hopeless crank.
Oh, I recall seeing a burning mosque in Nigeria a while back on CNN or BBC. Wonder what that was about?
Thanks Toc-Toc.
But the link provided by you seems to hi-light the role of an Egyptian TV-demagogue in spreading the news about the youtube clip. Nothing more.
With Morons on all sides looking for sensationalism, what can one expect apart from useless rhetoric and eventually mutual enmity?
You just insulted a Hindu God. Guys lets go and turn violent.
Are you saying that you are a Hindu god?
Well the name says it all.
Before we had to come on earth or send a prophet to send msg to the common people. Nowadays we have Internet connection at "baikuntha", so I use Economist msg board :)
Well that is certainly blasphemous in a funny sort of way.
If no Hindu objects to you, then I shall not have a problem. You may advance to GO, you may collect 200.
I recall seeing posts of stuff people make up when they have no other response. I don't wonder about it tho
"Americans insult Christianity all the time."
1.It will be a bitter thing for you to realise that everyone does not live by western ideals. Societies are shaped by men, not ideals; and these men are moulded by their culture.
2.So if 'Piss Christ' does not offend Christians (I doubt if this includes ALL Christians), you need to be applauded for your belief in freedom of expression. But like I said every culture is different.
3.Applaud, yes but emulate, maybe not.
Now Here is what I call a Tolerant Muslim
Bhagwan= God in Hindi.
By calling Bhagwan a crank he has committed blasphemy and may he burn in hell.
But we will leave that between him and allah.
Have I got this right ?
It is incorrect to take the view that all Muslims are dangerous violent sheep like simpletons as some of their number are embarrassed by the reaction to this cheapo Muslim baiting video
Although I do respect some Muslims (individually) who are people of my personal friendship and trust, I was one of those people who wanted to give Islam (as religious movement and as a path of living) the "benefit of doubt" that it could coexist peacefully with its parallels, namely Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Atheism, among other... Seems like thousands of Islam followers have proven me wrong...
Crusades ended more than 700 years ago, and long ago we changed our swords and shields for pens and worksheets, move on people!
I really don't know if sometime God (whoever he is), will have mercy on us and forgive our sins, or at what extent will he keep tolerating our flaws (or should I say stupidity?)...
The first crusade was a Muslim crusade to kill Christians. They still kill Christians and Jews whenever extremist Muslims take over a country. They're living in the 7th century.
Crusades did end a long time ago, and yet in 1920 General Henri Gouraud is reputed to have kicked Saladin's grave and said "The Crusades have ended now! Awake Saladin, we have returned! My presence here consecrates the victory of the Cross over the Crescent."
Austrian-born former Jew, Muhammad Asad was the first writer I read who asserted that Crusades did not in fact end. This phenomenon had assumed another form, deeply ingrained in the European Christian mindset. Nothing that I have seen so far have convinced me otherwise. We Muslims are hated as the 'other'. Islamophobia is popular I am sorry to say and for me that is just another dimension of the legacy of Crusades.
Care to substantiate your opinion?
I thought that Christians of Spain and Germany held the distinction of killing most Jews ever. Crusaders too did their part. Prior to Crusades, there were many Jews who lived in Holy land. They were mercilessly put to death along with many Muslims. Spanish Inquisition was equally cruel to both. Had there been a significant number of Muslims living in Germany during the World War, they would have been murdered just like Jews and Gypsies.
I do not think that anything Muslims ever did would ever equal these accomplishments.
¨...We Muslims are hated as the 'other'. Islamophobia is popular... ¨
And yet most muslims killed are being killed by fellow muslim of a different branch of the religion.
And yet muslims are free to practice their religion in most western countries, while it remains dangerous if not illegal to practice, for example, ones christian faith in many islamic countries.
Religion of any sort is dangerous.
Care to substantiate YOUR opinion?
We will start with the first crusades, a muslim creation indeed. Of course, in recent history the greatest advocate of crusade was Bin Laden.
"Religion of any sort is dangerous."
Why bother then...?
You are woefully misinformed. That is all I can say.
This sorry attempt to shift burden is too crude for me to waste my time on it. Suffice it to say that Muslims haven't eaten any dead babies yet.
Your source says: "The Crusades are generally portrayed as a series of holy wars against Islam led by power-mad popes and fought by religious fanatics." I find nothing wrong with this statement. Virtually all sources I have come across have endorsed this view. Why the revisionism now? Is it faith-inspired? Can not apologize for the indefensible and hence want to look for counter-offence? This is a crude attempt really. If Christians were merely defending themselves, then why were they late by more than four centuries? Had they been sleeping? Preparing? Planning? What explains the delay?
This revisionism is certainly motivated by the wish to cover up the indefensible. Nothing else. What a shame.
"We Muslims are hated as the 'other'."
Touching but not true. Please realise this. You should if your comments (balanced)are any indication.
When people raise their voice (in a matter that fits US interests); it is called Uprising, right to raise ur voice, arab spring etc. . And when they raise against criminal defamation of Allah and Allah's Messenger...it is called as EXCESSES or nonsense etc.....the double standards are manifest. West backed murder of Gaddafi (and thousands of Libyans/Syrians/Egyptians) was hailed as ' Arab spring'....we all remember !!!
How can one claim that videos does not represent American values.....most of the west including US is defending the law that allows 'freedom to insult'.
yes, freedom of speech allows the freedom to insult. for example many parts of the koran are demeaning, vile and insulting to me. but because I believe in freedom of speech I won't ask for it to be banned.
I expect a thank you.
May I ask you to be more clear on what part of the Quran is actually insulting you?
and have you asked a knowledgeable person what those parts in fact mean before you felt insulted?
if you really want sure I could name a bunch of parts. if you mean I would like some muslim apologist to tell me why I shouldn't be insulted, then no I really don't need that kind of tedious obfuscation in my life.
and where would it lead anyway? I'm still insulted, which I believe is the standard that all these islamist bigots are working on. so I should get just as much relief for my feeling of insult as they feel they should get for theirs.
I don't like being called a kaffir, for one...
Sons of monkeys and pigs , for second.Moushrek and DAAAAAL for third.and i can name a 100 of these.
Thank you anyway
I doubt that YOU will have such power to ban the Quran...
Yes, many of you are not bothered to find out what islam actually is. Characteristics of groups of muslims does not define our religion, in the same way, what you understand from the quran does not either. Why will you even take those word upon your self? How can you be sure that its directed at you? If you try to understand it unbiased you will understand that islam is nothing like what you know now.
However, 'innocence of muslims' is clearly offending our prophet. I do agree that the acts of muslim protestants are wrong. Their reactions are ashaming and is insulting our religion themselves. Our prophet would get insulted and even battered but he wouldnt say a thing, but only smile and would have prayed for their good. Millions of muslims are quite about the hatred towards islam and they are never mentioned. Whereas those with hatred towards islam wont stop spreading their hatred towards all muslims through their comments in social pages.
The first to be blamed should be those who constantly insult islam, and secondly the protestants for overreacting and leading millions to hate our religion, islam. It then obviously becomes inescapable for people to look at islam only to find the bad in it (which aint even islam). Individuals like me do attempt to explain that actions of protestants and extremist does not define islam, however our voices are usually not heard for these reasons and so, I do expect not to be understood either.
Thanks for being bothered to read this.
listening to propaganda from islamist bigots like yourself isn't getting an "unbiased" view. and the koran is as clearly offensive to me as "innocence of muslims" is to you. you may not like that fact, but it's still true.
muslims are giant hypocrites because they're use to being able to terrify and murder people into submission. in all their homelands we couldn't be having this conversation because I'd be dead, in jail, or have my house and all my neighbors houses burned down. so the idea that these views exist is completely new to them. I'm sure in their own bigotry they thought all the people they were oppressing and intimidating all secretly agreed with all the completely false platitudes they'd spout about islam.
you're still catagorsing all muslims the same.Majority of the muslims cant even kill an ant because islam taught us not to even hurt a plant.Thanks anyway, its just as I thought, you havent understood a word what I've said.So no need for further say.
no I'm responding to what islam does. all muslims don't need to be the same, people are still dead. the end result is that freedom of speech and basic human liberty is under serious threat by an extremely violent, tyranical and hatefilled religion. that's what I care about, not some imaginary muslims walking around trying to not consume any calories since you refuse to hurt plants too? HJAHJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
like I said, the koran is demeaning vile and insulting to me, but because I believe in freedom of speech I won't ask for it to be banned. which is more than I can say for the bigot muslims.
and like I said, I expect a thank you.
islam does nothing, its the protestant muslims that give you this opportunity to insult us even more.I have nothing to say to you.
@Sole1: and you will kiss the soles of my shiny jump boots and a pig's trotter. Uncalled for insults like yours make the case against Islam, not for it. You are what Tuba1 refers to as a Protestant , so perhaps you need to get together and decide between you how you want to present Islam to the world?
Is Islam a strident mediaeval religion, that wishes to inflict barbaric punishments on it's own believers, and behead all kaffirs ? Or is it a religion whose altruistic followers are less violent than Ghandi ?
Only Muslims can make that choice, and at the moment, the protestants are clearly winning.
Asalamualaikum Tuba1. You're absolutely right. The Protestant , militant extremists are the ones who are being heard over the the peaceful silent majority. But be serious : sensational news will always trump good news, so we will hear about the Muslims who stone people to death in an honour killing under sharia law or turn themselves into shrapnel in a suicide bombing before we hear of the millions who went to prayers and then the Hamam and then for a nice glass of tea. Guess what ? Islam and the prophet will be blamed for these attacks , because the people who effect them self identify as mujahideen and jihadi.
So yes, it would be good if you would stop talking to us, and started talking to your extremist brothers. I'd love to see you convince sole1 that he shouldn't attack me for for answering a question you asked. That way you might be able to be able to drag yourselves into the 21st century. I fear you have a siphysean task though, and will tire yourself to death, like a spent salmon, before you convert your brothers to pacifism.
all I see are muslims standing up uniform opposition to freedom of speech and basic human liberty. some do it incredibly violently murdering people and intimidating and frightening those they consider inferior. and some do it like you, by trying to pretend to be a victim.
I much prefer your kind, which I can engage in conversation with and explain why your ideas are loathesome and awful. if that makes you feel better. so if you could kindly defeat all the violent muslims I would be happy to have normal conversations under the umbrella of liberty and freedom. where free inquiry criticism and enlightenment can be the charge of the day. and medieval bigots turning violent over perceived insults are shunned entirely.
They won't thank you, but I will. I am deeply insulted by their misuse of the term Protestant, which has been used for my Christian religion since the 16th Century. In our case it stands for protest against oppression by the religion of others. This is hardly appropriate as used by Muslims.
My apologies for using the word in that context, and not correcting the capitalization from the spell checker. two questions though: protestant ("one who protests" derived from the noun/verb "protest") existed before the localized Christian use of it in Northern Europe. Isn't it hypocritical of you to object to its use in a post contrasting free speech against religious restriction ? Let's not forget that The Protestant Church was a breakaway sect from the Roman Catholic Church. Both are Christian, and not different religions. The other question, of course, is are you being sarcastic ? Is this what you meant to say all the time, but wanted to encode it so you could say this and then laugh at any responses ? If so, I urge you to have the courage to say what you mean in future.
I apology if a bit or irony came out as sarcasm. In fact I had three things in mind, the first was the irony you pointed out. The second was that the Protestant Reformation had the aims of opposing the oppression of the Roman Imperial Catholic Church and ridding Christianity of false beliefs, false scripture and false practice. Thirdly [more irony] the Protestants became guilty of oppression, false doctrine [Kill the Jews because they murdered Jesus, oppress any other views, etc.] and false practices [obedience to the local monarch, burning witches, etc].
On a linguistic note, wherever it might have been used before, if capitalized it refers to the Protestant Reformation and the Protestant Church(es) that came out of it.
Perhaps you are using British English and I am using American. In American English they are protesters, not protestants, and they engage in protests. In Spanish protests are called "manifestation," whereas in American English protest or demonstration [members being either protesters or demonstrators] would be used.
Aleykum Selam CFCHeadHunter. You're right, they all commit it under the name of Allah which causes the hatred towards islam. We do tell my brothers and sisters that they themselves are insulting our prophet by not following his way. Killing, suicide bombing, injuring, hurting feelings and many more bad behaviour are all unislamic. Me and millions of brothers and sisters try to spread this around to reach those extremist Muslims. Just like you are, we are also against violence.Our religion is in fact a religion of peace and love. I understand this is hard for you to believe but it is.When people see the real side of Islam they get amused. We do also spread around hadiths, sayings of our beloved prophet and all the other prophets including Jesus ( Hz. Isa (R.A)). Many might not know, but we believe in all prophets, we do not disrespect them. In addition, If it was a religion as many think Islam wouldnt have been the fastest growing religion. Thousands are converting every year, just like myself.
Till the very momment I die,I will try to convince the muslims to follow the way of our prophet (S.A.W) by spreading the beauty of Islam. In addition, I will try to convince those who have ended up hating islam.
Thank you for your respectful reply, I appreciate it.
I have no reason to pretend to be a victim. Islam is the victim of insults and violent Protestants. I do convince them not to act violently against all evil done towards them or their religion. In the same way, please try convincing those who insult Islam. Thanks.
Laws should be passed to protect children from all religious teaching, as adults they have the freedom to make decisions about beliefs, they would also be better able to distinguish when to defend their faith and what is appropriate.
A mix of angry, poor, and ignorant people always play the fool for those with political agenda. Ever has it been so.
a perfect description for a popular soap opera with a grand finale sometime in November ;)
No culture is homogeneous. There are always many factions, tribes, social strata and the like. It seems to me that an excuse has been handed over to those in a region with a lot of old scores to settle and lots of political power to be grabbed. I no longer accept the old "we feel insulted" or "you have insulted our religion" line of cr*p. Both excuses seem rather childish to me.
Our leadership should be firm in pointing out the hypocricy and very bad impression the current hysteria is showing the world. There is nothing to be gained by placating or giving-in to the rioters and their leadership. We must stress that nothing will be gained, and stick to it.
Religion needs improved interfaith protocols.
The approach that the smallest sound from the lowest spec in the gene pool anywhere is reason for war is not enforceable and likely to cause tension headaches.
Better to declare that pagans shooting their mouth off are a waste of time. This applies to christians, atheists, amish, and scientologists alike. It does not apply to scientific method broadly defined. One gets you invasion from mars hysteria just 80 years ago. The other gets you high res colour photos from the dune buggy bopping around on it.
Unfortunately saying this is a waste of time until that prophet P T Barnum stops being right. Well, at least I won't be tortured and forced to renounce my beliefs...wait, just a moment, there's someone at the door.
The moderates take a brave and surprising stand.
From the New York Times:
"We want justice for Chris," read one sign among the estimated 30,000 Libyans, including families, who marched into Benghazi's main square on Friday to protest in front of the main encampment of Ansar al-Sharia.
Some held signs reading "The ambassador was Libya's friend" and "Libya lost a friend." Many protesters carried Libyan flags, and government police officers could be seen mingling with the marchers.
Members of Ansar al-Sharia held a counterdemonstration, and arguments erupted between the opposing sides, but no violence occurred, at least not initially. Protesters chanted: "You terrorists, you cowards. Go back to Afghanistan."
So among the moderates there is courage after all. Hats off to you.
When the Queen wanted it so. she trumped all this free speech bull, and had pictures of her daughter in law's tits 'withdrawn'. Maybe she can get this movie suppressed also. Gimme the old Queen anytime over sanctimonious Anglos and Gauls and white Americans.
Tits were not withdrawn in the USA, a bastion of free speech. In the US you can ridicule the dominant religion e.g. the bible, Jesus, Paul of Tarsus and the state will not touch you. Similarly you can ridicule other US "religions" like rampant consumerism, Baseball, Scientology, Mormonism, free-market ideology and Atheism and the state will not you. So Islam is not treated as an exception, get over it.
As for free speech in the UK, it is in tatters. Hey Brits, bit by bit the state is coming after your speech. Ya don't rule the waves and you are slaves .... to creeping fascism.
Try making fun of home team in a football game! You will be lynched :)
Only if you're in the wrong stand, muppet !
jocularly speaking:
why cannot I see your mother/wife/sister tits whenever I want to?
wouldn't you say that your family tits are your family's matter?

May be and may be not - BUT THE SATE WILL NOT TOUCH YOU !
Care to ask the queen to use her money and her influence..
No sorry - anti Islamic articles sell newspapers !
The Queen used the courts to stop publication not the streets...
why did the muslims not approach the courts in the matter of the so called hateful anti prophet video?
Unlike the Pakistani Federal Govt Minister she did not announce a bounty ( incl Al Qaeda and Taliban) for the murderers of the Photographers who shot the pictures.
Sir, So let me understand this. An Egyptian makes a movie in the US and extremist the world over as so offended that they riot and destroy their own cities and torment their own citizens?
Yep. That's how they think. If you can call it that.
Islam is still in the 15th Century [Al Hajj], they have therefore not yet discovered the benefits of anger management and other useful modernisms.
" An Egyptian makes a movie in the US and extremist the world over as so offended that they riot and destroy their own cities and torment their own citizens?"
Yes cause that demonstrates their love for their prophet, as the recent "Yome Ishqe Rassool" ( day of love for the Prophet pbuh) in Pakistan showed.
26 dead, 200 injured, cinema halls, KFCs, banks, cars etc plundered.
I hope the prophet felt the love.
All my years of being insulted for my religion - all the years of the Muslims killing Hindus because of their religion - the years of destroying Hindu temples and convertin g them into mosques as MO. had done , the years of massacres and forced conversions.
And they feel that they are being targeted?
When you compare yourselves with other religions - you guys are so childish.
Why can't you behave like adults?
Why do you have to kill and maim at the drop of a hat.
Why not just protest peacefully - and mix well.. You will then be taken seriously
Easy, panditji ! Don't get your dhoti in a twist.
Very impressive insight.
Its easy to call a whole group of other people "sanctimonious", but it can be difficult to see one's own prejudice character. It is easily evident through your response to Bharat pp that you are a hypocrite. I suggest that in the future you either think before you post such definitive statements or at least stand by what you say.
He isn't trying to kill you or destroy your property. He is simply relating a very painful and tragic piece of the history of the Indian subcontinent which has led to untold tragedy in recent times.
If you look at Bharat pp's post history, you would find that he never wastes any opportunity to bash Pakistan and Muslims. He has a victim complex and it is too convenient. He also operates multiple accounts on TE. His other account is 'old fruit2'.
The invaders from Central Asia conquered India many times. His problem is only with the ones with Islamic names. His never discusses what happened to Indus Valley Civilization which was totally wiped out and its people were enslaved enmasse by Vedic Aryans. That was a very very traumatic experience for people who lived in India. But we must not discuss that, he follows the religion of the Vedic Aryans and they could not do any wrong. See the double standard? Hindu-nationalists never discuss Indus Valley Civilization, because discussing it would mean accepting something many times terrible than what may or may not have happened at the hands of Turkish Muslims.
Tamerlane killed indiscriminately and used the name of Islam, even while Muslims were slaughtered by his armies. My hometown (Lahore) was sacked and people were killed by the same people Bharat pp likes to complain about. I do not play the victim, why does he?
So you are going to determine if a Hindu should feel insulted by a Muslim ? By claiming Islam to be the only tre religion you are insulting all others
Then why are you feel insulted by the movie, we can say you should not have felt insulted.
BTW: The aryan invasion theory has been debunked, but thats beside the point
I had thought that you were masquerading as a Hindu with your hilarious remarks. But your denial of Aryan Invasion, though equally funny does show your true saffron color.
Only a fool, or a fundamentalist Hindu would discredit the proofs of Aryan Invasion that decimated Indus Valley Civilization (IVC). You deny it because it makes you feel less worthy.
I find it funny that it was a South Indian Tamil girl with unmistakable Dravidian lineage, features, and color who first drew my attention to the unlikely hypothesis that 'Aryans were indigenous to India and spread from India to Europe'. I had to turn away when I could not hide my laughter lest I may hurt her feelings. Ever since then, I have found people who cling to this absurd hypothesis to be funny in the head.
How do you explain the decimation of IVC? How do you explain existence of graves containing Aryan artefacts dated to the time period when IVC perished? Who were the city-dwelling Dasyus mentioned in Vedas against whom Vedic Aryans invoked their deities' help? How come the cosmopolitan civilization predominating in what is Pakistan nowadays just disappeared and got replaced by crude pastoral culture of Vedic Aryans? How come artefacts of IVC turned up in Mesopotamia til about 1500 BC and then no more? IVC that had trading links with ancient Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist; why? Let me know when you can answer any of these questions. Until then keep your thoughts of Aryan origins to yourself.
Nobody denies IVC was NOT "decimated" (a leading charcterisation) that does not imply there was a Aryan Invasion. The causality is not there ! several civilizations in the world that has risen and fallen for various reasons (diseases, movement of water source etc etc ).
But as I said it is besides the point and it not a blasphemous act it is a historical debate with political ramifications. Non-hindus cling to aryan invasion theory because it justifies their colonisation of the subcontinent for over 900 yrs.
Dear Dear Zabhid,
zahidiftikharin reply to Mary WilburSep 22nd, 15:12
If you look at Bharat pp's post history, you would find that he never wastes any opportunity to bash Pakistan and Muslims
So are you bashable?
Many times I have asked why there is no one answering to the heinous charges of Muslim atrocities - and all you and your intelligent frends are capable of is silence.
So let me ask again
1.. If you MO. was appointed by the dear lord - why does get frightened of a few slights?
2.. Why do you muslims threatened to 'Cut off their heads at the drop of a hat?
3.Why have you not been civilised enough to put on trial Musharaff and kayani for partaking in the killing of 4 million Bangladeshi.
4.. How dare you protest about MO. and his slights, when you and you mates go around hiding and promoting the worst terrorists in the world including ex-OBL
5..What have you guys done to stop persecuting the minorities - Don't tell me- NOTHING?
I do not wish to debate the fate of IVC with you. Nationalist Hindus invariably assume that their forefathers were the Aryans who went forth to colonize Europe etc... If this is a scriptural and religious belief, I do not wish to argue against it. If it is something made up to deal with an inferiority complex vis-a-vis the British, then I have no time for this rubbish.
None of the factors you have mentioned can be considered as leading to its demise.
I have mentioned archeological, textual (Vedic), and common sense material to support the case for Aryan invasion. What do you have?
Non-Hindus have no beef with what happened more than three thousand years ago. Hindu nationalists DO have a desperate need to make a case to suit there views. Like I said, if it is a view supported by religious texts and such, I do not wish to challenge it. If it is otherwise then I have done enough to undermine any material that you might bring forth to support a counter hypothesis.
All your posts are very similar when relating to anything that has to do with Pakistan. You keep posting same stuff & I have responded to this rubbish a number of times. I just do not have the time to go through another cycle again. You are just too persistent.
What does this article have anything to do with Musharraf??? Or Kayani???
I just do not have the time to go through another cycle again. You are just too persistent.
What does this article have anything to do with Musharraf??? Or Kayani???
1.. If you want respect - behave towards others with respect.
2.. Face the heinous crimes that you guys continue to commit and we will start to respect you and all your culture. ( Think of Somalia and Sudan)
Oh yes - don't let the Europeans take the civilized lead - Try them In your local court.
Or do you not understand civilisation?
You got to start some where.

.... Sorry I hurt your feelings.
Do you people have any feelings ?
How the arab media play with the jews. Now I ask: how to deal with them ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hpc_-5WsXI
Judge for yourselves their mentality.
The Jews Were Brought to Palestine for the "Great Massacre"
Wahhabi Fatwa Allows Sodomy for Jihad Purposes
Egyptian Actors on Candid Camera Show Turn Violent When Told Channel Is Israeli
Beheading Apostates "Easier than Cutting Buttons Off Their Shirts"
How they treat the jews
How to beat a woman
What they teach their children
You have a lot of free time. Maybe Mossad has a good DVD library for your type.
It is realy generous of the Arab media to provide the Mossad with such good amunition. Keep up the good work.
And you seem really busy replying to every comment on the board! Who pays you? Saudi king?
Yes, they do. Because you produce thousand of hate speaches against infidels. Easy to find on Youtube. Just search for Memri videos and you will get it. Than, judge for yourself.
Your are a ridiculous ass.
Madam, I suspect that Kalabagh is an American with Pakistani background. I do not personally know him, but I can piece together information from his name and his posts. He is a bit care-free, and some of his posts may be turn-offs. But his one liner rebuttals to Hindu nationalists are often hilarious. More enjoyable since any Pakistan-related article attracts them like flies and they regurgitate same material ad-nauseum (sp?).
If you were to read some of the sick stuff they post, you would excuse Kalabagh for his cynicism.
So sad that just now the world are starting to learn the hell of prejudice and problemas that Israelis face day to day dealing with its neighbours. As the arab and muslim media print lots of cartoons despicting jews as pigs or something even worst like transmiting a novel about the conspiratory Sages of Sion trash or accuse the Mossad of sending jaws to eat turists in Egypt (even considering that many Israelis were touring there)... Not to mention the menace of Iran to wipe Israel out of the world map...
Israel started this via the Jewish donors.
It seems that anti-semitism comes in many forms.
Look Buddy. If that was true (Jewish donors) we would b much more clever than a stupíd trash like this film and send a subtile message of respect for all religions through a Oscar Winner movie.
There were no Jewish donors. The film trailer was made by an Egyptian American Copt named Nakonla Basseley Nakonla, who it turns out served time in federal prison for bank fraud. He had a lot of help from some fringe Christian group located in Southern California. CAIR (the Council of American Islamic Relations) keeps an eye on them. The people who made the movie had to lie to the actors in order to get them to make the film. They were told that the name of the movie was "Desert Warrior" and the original script that they used had nothing to do with Islam or Muhammed. The film clip was later dubbed with a different anti-Muhammed script.

Household chores may never feel effortless, but appliances that make our day-to-day lives easier have definitely come a long way over the decades. Take a fun look back at vintage ads that tout then-innovative inventions, such as the gas range, electric broom, portable television and more!
Highlighting the modern gas range's ability to "take the hard work out of cooking," this ad from the American Gas Association promotes the myriad advantages to cooking with gas.
Touting itself as the "world's greatest foodkeeper," this ad for the 1956 Kelvinator refrigerator boasts innovative new features including the "Banana Bin" and "Breakfast Bar."
This advertisement draws attention to the ease of using Whirlpool's "work-free" Surgomatic washer. With the touch of a button, the Surgomatic can clean a 10-pound load; with the touch of another, the machine will even drain the wash water!
"No waiting between waffles. No embarrassment of who's going to be next." The Sunbeam waffle baker's biggest selling point is that it makes four "good-sized" waffles at one time!
KitchenAid's ad points out the aesthetic value of the newest available color in its line of portable dishwashers: Golden Harvest.
"Light… quick… modern" declares the ad for the Regina Electrikbroom. It claims to take the place of a carpet sweeper, broom, dust mop, dust pan and upholstery bush, all in one amazing tool.
Toastmaster makes beginning the day even easier by gathering all your morning essentials with the "Toast 'n Jam" set.
The Electrolux vacuum cleaner goes where no vacuum cleaner has gone before, claiming to automatically clean itself. "Touch no dirt! Breathe no dirt! See no dirt!"
SONY's portable Micro-TV promises to let you "hold the future in your hand."
Pacific's Contour sheets makes the task of making a bed easier with sheets that "stay smooth and taut and wrinkle-free."
KitchenAid's "food preparer" boasts the ability to chop meat, slice veggies, shell peas, sharpen knives, grind coffee and more in a single appliance.
General Electric offers an assortment of devices to make lives better, including a portable hair dryer with remote control, cordless wall clock, automatic clothes brush and manicure-pedicure set.
Western Electric "cross[es] a telephone with a TV set" to create the "Picturephone," which allows you to see the person you're chatting with.
The "Twindow" is "the world's finest insulating glass," giving you the freedom to enjoy the outdoors from indoors, all while keeping your home at the ideal temperature.

- interface IAuthenticationPolicy[source]¶
An object representing a Pyramid authentication policy.
- remember(request, principal, **kw)[source]¶
Return a set of headers suitable for 'remembering' the principal named principal when set in a response. An individual authentication policy and its consumers can decide on the composition and meaning of **kw.
- authenticated_userid(request)[source]¶
Return the authenticated userid or None if no authenticated userid can be found. This method of the policy should ensure that a record exists in whatever persistent store is used related to the user (the user should not have been deleted); if a record associated with the current id does not exist in a persistent store, it should return None.
- unauthenticated_userid(request)[source]¶
Return the unauthenticated userid. This method performs the same duty as authenticated_userid but is permitted to return the userid based only on data present in the request; it needn't (and shouldn't) check any persistent store to ensure that the user record related to the request userid exists.
- interface IAuthorizationPolicy[source]¶
An object representing a Pyramid authorization policy.
- principals_allowed_by_permission(context, permission)[source]¶
Return a set of principal identifiers allowed by the permission in context. This behavior is optional; if you choose to not implement it you should define this method as something which raises a NotImplementedError. This method will only be called when the pyramid.security.principals_allowed_by_permission API is used.
- interface IExceptionResponse[source]¶
Extends: pyramid.interfaces.IException, pyramid.interfaces.IResponse
An interface representing a WSGI response which is also an exception object. Register an exception view using this interface as a context to apply the registered view for all exception types raised by Pyramid internally (any exception that inherits from pyramid.response.Response, including pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPNotFound and pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPForbidden).
- interface IRoute[source]¶
Interface representing the type of object returned from IRoutesMapper.get_route
- name¶
The route name
- pattern¶
The route pattern
- factory¶
The root factory used by the Pyramid router when this route matches (or None)
- generate(kw)[source]¶
Generate a URL based on filling in the dynamic segment markers in the pattern using the kw dictionary provided.
- pregenerator¶
This attribute should either be None or a callable object implementing the IRoutePregenerator interface
- predicates¶
A sequence of route predicate objects used to determine if a request matches this route or not after basic pattern matching has been completed.
- match(path)[source]¶
If the path passed to this function can be matched by the pattern of this route, return a dictionary (the 'matchdict'), which will contain keys representing the dynamic segment markers in the pattern mapped to values extracted from the provided path.
If the path passed to this function cannot be matched by the pattern of this route, return None.
- interface IRoutePregenerator[source]¶
- __call__(request, elements, kw)[source]¶
A pregenerator is a function associated by a developer with a route. The pregenerator for a route is called by pyramid.request.Request.route_url() in order to adjust the set of arguments passed to it by the user for special purposes, such as Pylons 'subdomain' support. It will influence the URL returned by route_url.
A pregenerator should return a two-tuple of (elements, kw) after examining the originals passed to this function, which are the arguments (request, elements, kw). The simplest pregenerator is:
def pregenerator(request, elements, kw): return elements, kwYou can employ a pregenerator by passing a pregenerator argument to the pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route() function.
- interface ISession[source]¶
Extends: pyramid.interfaces.IDict
An interface representing a session (a web session object, usually accessed via request.session.
Keys and values of a session must be pickleable.
- invalidate()[source]¶
Invalidate the session. The action caused by invalidate is implementation-dependent, but it should have the effect of completely dissociating any data stored in the session with the current request. It might set response values (such as one which clears a cookie), or it might not.
- flash(msg, queue='', allow_duplicate=True)[source]¶
Push a flash message onto the end of the flash queue represented by queue. An alternate flash message queue can used by passing an optional queue, which must be a string. If allow_duplicate is false, if the msg already exists in the queue, it will not be readded.
- created¶
Integer representing Epoch time when created.
- changed()[source]¶
Mark the session as changed. A user of a session should call this method after he or she mutates a mutable object that is a value of the session (it should not be required after mutating the session itself). For example, if the user has stored a dictionary in the session under the key foo, and he or she does session['foo'] = {}, changed() needn't be called. However, if subsequently he or she does session['foo']['a'] = 1, changed() must be called for the sessioning machinery to notice the mutation of the internal dictionary.
- get_csrf_token()[source]¶
Return a random cross-site request forgery protection token. It will be a string. If a token was previously added to the session via new_csrf_token, that token will be returned. If no CSRF token was previously set into the session, new_csrf_token will be called, which will create and set a token, and this token will be returned.
- peek_flash(queue='')[source]¶
Peek at a queue in the flash storage. The queue remains in flash storage after this message is called. The queue is returned; it is a list of flash messages added by pyramid.interfaces.ISession.flash()
- new_csrf_token()[source]¶
Create and set into the session a new, random cross-site request forgery protection token. Return the token. It will be a string.
- new¶
Boolean attribute. If True, the session is new.
- pop_flash(queue='')[source]¶
Pop a queue from the flash storage. The queue is removed from flash storage after this message is called. The queue is returned; it is a list of flash messages added by pyramid.interfaces.ISession.flash()
- interface ISessionFactory[source]¶
An interface representing a factory which accepts a request object and returns an ISession object
- interface IRendererInfo[source]¶
An object implementing this interface is passed to every renderer factory constructor as its only argument (conventionally named info)
- name¶
The value passed by the user as the renderer name
- package¶
The "current package" when the renderer configuration statement was found
- settings¶
The deployment settings dictionary related to the current application
- registry¶
The "current" application registry when the renderer was created
- type¶
The renderer type name
- interface IViewMapperFactory[source]¶
- __call__(self, **kw)[source]¶
Return an object which implements pyramid.interfaces.IViewMapper. kw will be a dictionary containing view-specific arguments, such as permission, predicates, attr, renderer, and other items. An IViewMapperFactory is used by pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view() to provide a plugpoint to extension developers who want to modify potential view callable invocation signatures and response values.
- interface IViewMapper[source]¶
- __call__(self, object)[source]¶
Provided with an arbitrary object (a function, class, or instance), returns a callable with the call signature (context, request). The callable returned should itself return a Response object. An IViewMapper is returned by pyramid.interfaces.IViewMapperFactory.
- interface IDict[source]¶
- __delitem__(k)[source]¶
Delete an item from the dictionary which is passed to the renderer as the renderer globals dictionary.
- setdefault(k, default=None)[source]¶
Return the existing value for key k in the dictionary. If no value with k exists in the dictionary, set the default value into the dictionary under the k name passed. If a value already existed in the dictionary, return it. If a value did not exist in the dictionary, return the default
- __getitem__(k)[source]¶
Return the value for key k from the dictionary or raise a KeyError if the key doesn't exist
- get(k, default=None)[source]¶
Return the value for key k from the renderer dictionary, or the default if no such value exists.
- pop(k, default=None)[source]¶
Pop the key k from the dictionary and return its value. If k doesn't exist, and default is provided, return the default. If k doesn't exist and default is not provided, raise a KeyError.
- has_key(k)¶
Return True if key k exists in the dictionary.
- interface IMultiDict[source]¶
Extends: pyramid.interfaces.IDict
An ordered dictionary that can have multiple values for each key. A multidict adds the methods getall, getone, mixed, extend add, and dict_of_lists to the normal dictionary interface. A multidict data structure is used as request.POST, request.GET, and request.params within an Pyramid application.
- extend(other=None, **kwargs)[source]¶
Add a set of keys and values, not overwriting any previous values. The other structure may be a list of two-tuples or a dictionary. If **kwargs is passed, its value will overwrite existing values.
- interface IResponse[source]¶
Represents a WSGI response using the WebOb response interface. Some attribute and method documentation of this interface references RFC 2616.
This interface is most famously implemented by pyramid.response.Response and the HTTP exception classes in pyramid.httpexceptions.

Randy Shannon Sues University of Miami, Says School Is Stiffing Him On Contract Payments
Categories: Sports
"There is nothing in the (contract) that allows UM to prorate" the payouts, Shannon's attorneys argue in the new lawsuit.
Shannon, who played at UM from 1985 - 1988, helmed the program as head coach starting in 2007. In 2010, he endured a tough season after starting the year ranked 13th in the nation. Following a particularly brutal loss at home to South Florida, the school fired him.
ESPN reported at the time that the school would buy out the remaining four years on Shannon's contract for around $1.5 million.
His new suit doesn't specify how much the school owes him, but says that UM is arguing that since Shannon was 10 months into a calendar year on his contract, he's only entitled to "5/6th of the full amount."
Shannon's attorney, Jack Scarola, is demanding compensation, attorney's fees and interest from the school.
A UM spokeswoman reached by Riptide declined to comment on the suit.

Survey Finds 28% of Americans Can't Cook
Chinese takeout and pizza delivery restaurants rejoice! A recent survey shows that nearly a third of Americans aren't eating home-cooked meals because they don't know how to cook.
More from Delish: 100+ Easy Recipes for Weeknights
According to Market Watch, the survey, which was conducted by Impulse Research on behalf of Bosch home appliances, took 1,087 men and women aged 25 and older and asked them questions about their cooking or non-cooking habits and the reasons behind them. When asked those who didn't cook chose not to, researchers found that 28% cited not knowing how to cook, 25% said that "not wanting to clean up afterward" was the reason, 21% said that they didn't have enough time too cook, and 51% said that they did not cook because their spouse or partner does the cooking.

Valentine's Day is always tricky when it comes to pleasing the other half. And while I may have suggested a number of cupcakes and snacks for the special day, I figured why not devise a menu from the many recipes I've written to help those who have no clue...

Our waiter at the Dome Restaurant & Caviar Bar was well-versed in the establishment's green credentials. He let us know about the LEED Silver certification, that the bar cabinets were forged from coconut palm tree trunks, that the tabletops are compressed recycled paper (he tapped on ours a few times for effect), and that the leather banquettes, mirrored walls, and glitzy metal curtains were made from reprocessed materials. Plus the lighting is LED, the menus are paperless, and the ingredients are local, thus reducing the carbon footprint.
It's all environmentally admirable, but as the waiter spoke, I glanced around the 58-seat dining room and a certain incongruity struck: The place resembles a veritable ode to artificiality.
See also: Slide show: Closer Look: The Dome.
271 Miracle Mile
Coral Gables, FL 33134
Category: Restaurant > American
Region: Coral Gables/South Miami
The sleek décor is as modern and metallic as a spaceship, with silver curtains, hanging globe lights, and a steel-dome-like construct suspended from the ceiling's center. Colorful pop art breaks up the monochromaticity, and it's a good-looking space — but not one that conjures pastoral farmlands or anything remotely natural. Neither does the excitable music. But to be fair, the ambiance is suitable for the Coral Gables crowd that crams in at later hours for vodka, cocktails, and caviar.
The eco-chic gastro-dome, opened on Miracle Mile this past January by owner Rachel Dominguez, touts Trinidadian chef Marsha Orosco and a diverse menu fused with Latin American, Cuban, and Caribbean influences.
The Dome covers an eclectic collection of foods. If nothing else, it's probably the best place in town to compose your own upstairs-downstairs-style surf 'n' turf of barbecue cheeseburger sliders and osetra caviar.
The price range flows widely as well: The trio of sliders is $12; a one-ounce serving of Russian osetra is $105.
All of this info is available on the paperless menu, also known as an iPad. Admittedly, this high-tech touch allows diners to tap any item to see a glorified photo of the dish. And sure, it saves trees (or, more accurately, maybe a branch). But is this what people who have been working on digital tablets, smartphones, and computers all day really want to deal with during their downtime? Plus, though the iPad is light and sleek compared to a laptop, it's heavy and cumbersome relative to most menus.
Don't even think of trying to take one of those tablets home: There are more domed ceiling cameras here than at Fort Knox. How natural is that?
Dinner begins with belt-buckle-size rounds of impeccably fried tostones with citrus-garlic mojito sauce. The same dip adds a glow to masa frito, or Latin-style fried pork chunks, which already burst with garlic and bright seasoning.
The pork constitutes one of four small meat plates. Skewers of beef tenderloin, Southern-fried organic chicken wings, and beef empanadas are the others — the last heated with picadillo sauce and cooled with cilantro cream.
Salads include caesar, spinach (with strawberries and pecans), and a moderately sized iceberg wedge draped in Gorgonzola dressing and bacon flakes.
Soups and small plates of seafood and caviar are available as well, which adds up to a large selection of global bites — all over the map, really, with France, Spain, and New England represented in the soup category by French onion, gazpacho, and lobster bisque. Seafood plates run the gamut from whitefish ceviche to Maryland crabcakes to scallops au poivre. The menu suggests "three to four small plates to share."
Caviar small plates are different from caviar bar selections. The former is a trio of prepared dishes — fresh cold-water oysters with traditional mignonette and caviar; smoked salmon rolls capped with the same caviar; and "abuela's yucca croquettas," plush barrels of luscious yuca purée wrapped in clean, crisp breading. Chive crema and dabs of caviar further entice the taste buds. Paddlefish is often used for these plates; other times it might be hackleback.
Eight varieties of caviar, meanwhile, are divvied into a quartet aquacultured in Russia, Uruguay, and Italy, and another foursome farmed in North America. The former group features buttery eggs from the Caspian Sea, Russian osetra, Royal Siberian osetra (from Uruguay), and kaluga — a close cousin of the esteemed beluga that is likewise borne by large sturgeon.
The caviar presentation is quite pretty, with orchids lavishing a glass tray of crème fraîche, minced shallots, "truffle scrambled eggs" (which tasted more like mashed egg yolks), toast points, and homemade blini.
Among the North American selections are white sturgeon, American paddlefish (often compared to sevruga), hackleback American sturgeon, and vegan caviar culled from kelp.
Yes, kelp: The "white sturgeon" variety mimics the size and color of Russian roe and produces a similar popping texture in the mouth. Not much real caviar taste is discernible, but it's not too seaweedy either. In fact, the flavor pleasingly elicits mellow, neutral notes of the sea that float nicely atop the garnishes. This $11-per-ounce faux caviar is plated with the same accouterments and elegance as the highest-end osetra. That's generous.
(On the other hand, I can't say I totally trust a caviar bar that refers to blini as "bellini pancakes.")
We tried three of the four entrées (two pastas are also proffered). The best of the lot was beef short ribs succulently braised and sauced with a red-wine reduction. The three fat cubes of meat were topped with a single grilled shrimp and accompanied by roasted fingerling potatoes and a sauté of wild mushrooms.

Triple playmaker: an interview with Kurt Busiek
Although I wrote quite a lot over the past year about DC's weekly series Trinity, I kept coming up with questions that went outside the scope of my weekly notes. Fortunately, writer Kurt Busiek was nice enough to participate in the following e-mail interview, conducted after Trinity concluded (and after he returned from a well- deserved vacation).
We discussed the nuts and bolts of producing Trinity, its connections to a couple of Busiek's other DC projects, a few nitpicky items, and what the year-long series leaves behind.

The development of the amygdala, a central structure of the limbic system, remains poorly understood. We found that two spatially distinct and early-specified telencephalic progenitor pools marked by the homeodomain transcription factor Dbx1 are major sources of neuronal cell diversity in the mature mouse amygdala. We found that Dbx1-positive cells of the ventral pallium generate the excitatory neurons of the basolateral complex and cortical amygdala nuclei. Moreover, Dbx1-derived cells comprise a previously unknown migratory stream that emanates from the preoptic area (POA), a ventral telencephalic domain adjacent to the diencephalic border. The Dbx1-positive, POA-derived population migrated specifically to the amygdala and, as defined by both immunochemical and electrophysiological criteria, generated a unique subclass of inhibitory neurons in the medial amygdala nucleus. Thus, this POA-derived population represents a previously unknown progenitor pool dedicated to the limbic system.

The last captive thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo on September 7, 1936. Today in Australia, the day is now known as "Threatened Species Day." Ten years ago it was known as "National Thylacine Day."Link. Update: Also on Cryptomundo today, video proof that the recently-departed Steve Irwin (who dabbled in cryptozoology) had a great sense of self-deprecating humor. Link.The last thylacine was captured in 1924, with its mother and siblings, in Florentine Valley, Tasmania. In 1933, this last thylacine, a female, was sold to the Hobart Zoo. (Whether or not it was ever named "Benjamin" is a subject of much debate.) The world's last captive then died in that zoo three years later. In the same year, 1936, or in 1938, by some accounts, the Tasmanian tiger was added to the list of Protected Wildlife. Finally, 50 years after the death of the last captive, in 1986, the thylacine was declared extinct by international standards.
But sightings in the wild persist. Do they live today out in the forest bush of Tasmania (almost 400 sightings), on mainland Australia (over 4000 sightings), or in the rainforests of New Guinea (a handful)?
Reader comment: D'oh! Thylacines aren't felines, they're thylacines! Bruce Wright says,
Felines areSteve Hutcheon says,Animalia - Chordata - Mammalia - Carnivora - Felidae
Thylacines are

Here's some photos of thylacines.Dr. Paul J. Camp says,
The thylacine was able to open its mouth to an unbelievable extent, as you can see in one of the videos (film number 5) at this site, a labor of love by a thylacine expert.

WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced today a $300,000,000 civil money penalty (CMP) action against JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., for unsafe and unsound practices related to derivatives trading activities conducted on behalf of the bank by the Chief Investment Office (CIO).
The OCC found that the bank's controls failed to identify and prevent certain credit derivatives trading conducted by the CIO that resulted in substantial loss to the bank, which has exceeded $6 billion. The OCC has conducted several targeted exams which found the following deficiencies related to the credit derivatives trading practices conducted by the CIO: inadequate oversight and governance to protect the bank from material risk, inadequate risk management processes and procedures, inadequate control over pricing of trades, inadequate development and implementation of models used by the bank, and inadequate internal audit processes.
Concurrent with the OCC's enforcement action, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System assessed a $200,000,000 penalty, the Securities and Exchange Commission assessed a $200,000,000 penalty and the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) assessed a penalty of 137,610,000 pounds, or approximately $220,000,000. The Federal Reserve and SEC actions are against the bank's holding company, while the OCC and FCA actions are against the bank.
The CMP follows a cease and desist order issued in January 2013 that directed the bank to correct deficiencies in its derivatives trading activity.

VOTE | nfl.com/greatestuni
BUY | Seahawks Jerseys
The Seahawks' Nike Elite jerseys roll on.
The club's current digs (No. 6 seed) have advanced to the "Elite Eight" in NFL.com's competition to determine the Greatest Uniform in League history, defeating the current jerseys of the New Orleans Saints (No. 7) by a final fan vote count of 69,231 to 39,251 in the round of 16.
The Seahawks are now matched up against the red and gold of the division rival San Francisco 49ers - the NFC current uniform bracket's No. 1 seed - who narrowly edged out the Green Bay Packers in Round 3.
Prior to besting the Saints, the Seahawks' current digs emerged victorious over the current uniforms of the New York Giants (No. 3) in Round 2, collecting 74,688 votes to the Giants' 35,085. That achievement came one round after more than doubling up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 11), 51,937 to 25,689, to open bracket play. The Seahawks' current jerseys and 1976 throwback digs were featured when NFL.com personality Dave Dameshek originally unveiled the competition two weeks back, but by way of fan vote only the club's new jersey made it out of the competition's first-round.
Voting for Round 4 concludes on Wednesday, July 17 at 6 p.m. PT. Until then, do what you do, 12th Man - continue to rock those votes.
