LISBON, March 8 (Reuters) - Benfica defender Fabio Faria has retired from professional football at the age of 23 because of heart problems, the player said in an emotional news conference on Friday.
Faria, a centre back on loan to Rio Ave, struggled to stem the flow of tears as he told reporters that, because of a heart anomaly, he was forced to seek alternative employment.
"This decision really pains me but I had the support of my parents, girlfriend, Benfica, Rio Ave, my agent and also from the players' union," he said. "That's life. The last exams did not go as well as we hoped for."
Faria's problem was first detected after a league match in February last year and he had not played since.
Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira, who sat by his side in the press conference, said Faria could count on his club for help.
"He can count on Benfica, he won't be unemployed. We have a contract with Faria until 2015 and we will keep to it. Benfica's door will remain open," Vieira said.
Faria did not specify what his exact condition was.
"I realised I had to stop after some tests with physical exercise. It's a heart problem but I am not really able to explain you what it is," he said.
Former Bolton Wanderers player Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest and almost died playing at Tottenham Hotspur last March.
Muamba, whose heart stopped beating for 78 minutes after collapsing during an FA Cup tie, made a full recovery but was forced to retire from the game on doctors' orders.
A few weeks later Livorno's Piermario Morosini collapsed and died from a suspected cardiac arrest during an Italian second division game. (Reporting by Daniel Alvarenga, editing by Justin Palmer)

Al DiGuido | January 13, 2005 | Comments
What gives? Relevance and quality don't just help open, click-through, and response rates but delivery rates, too.
Like many in the industry, I was pleasantly surprised by America Online's landmark announcement late last month that spam sent to and reported by its members declined significantly in 2004.
On the other hand, I wasn't surprised at all by a Jupiter Research (a Jupitermedia Corp. division) report issued that very same week, "Delivery Auditing Tools," which revealed "57 percent of email marketers said [email delivery] would be their biggest challenge during the coming year."
What gives?
Some believe CAN-SPAM has been effective in discouraging smaller spam offenders from continuing their questionable batch-and-blast efforts. Yet few believe the largest offenders have restrained from or are discouraged by increased filtering sophistication and new spam-combating solutions. Others feel consumers have become numb to spam and, in some respects, have given up using spam-reporting mechanisms as they ultimately fail to stem the tide of spam into the inbox.
Whatever the case, AOL's announcement put a stake in the ground. It demonstrates the industry is committed to addressing, reducing, and ultimately solving the spam issue.
With recent developments and efforts, deployment and deliverability complexities will continue to increase and change dramatically in the foreseeable future. Many leading industry analysts and experts report increasingly more marketers are attuned to the fact email deliverability requires meticulous management, superior technological capabilities, robust intelligence, and careful consideration.
According to Jupiter Research, only 46 percent of marketers indicate they currently use a delivery auditing service or tool. An additional 26 percent say they plan to use one in the next 12 months. Further, approximately two-thirds of marketers are willing to pay a premium for such services.
E-mail delivery directly affects return on investment (ROI), and no channel is as efficient as email to drive revenue, ROI, and quality customer relationships. An investment in email, be it delivery services, tools, or acquisition and retention strategy and program development, is a small price to pay for the potential return.
This year archaic anti-spam measures will be replaced by a newer breed of dynamic email delivery systems and solutions. With the rise of these new systems, products, and services, including evolving whitelists, authentication, accreditation, and reputation-based solutions, permission-based email is less likely to be erroneously snagged by traditional spam filters. These do, however, create a new breed of delivery challenges.
What are marketers most concerned about in the emerging deliverability equation? A few issues stand out:
Today, more than ever, consumer responses can enhance or detract from deliverability. Relevancy and quality aren't just good for open, click-through, and response/conversion rates but delivery rates, as well.
Marketers must avoid traditional direct response thinking at all costs. When they receive direct mail, consumers really only have two immediate options: respond or do nothing. With email, we're increasingly aware of a third option: complain. A mere one- or two-tenths of a percent complaint rate is enough to jeopardize deliverability. Being cognizant and conscientious of consumers' expectations and desires is essential.
Tying deliverability to response and financial results, by necessity, will move the marketplace in an even more powerful direction. Those who employ best-in-class marketing and deliverability practices already know email delivers the highest ROI and an unrivaled ability to develop personalized, two-way, long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with consumers. In that regard, the outlook for email's place in the advertising mix in the New Year is decidedly positive.
Till next time,
Al DiGuido

Sark survey shows widespread economic pessimism
A lack of optimism for future economic growth was also evident, with 82.5% thinking trading conditions would be the same or worse next year.
The survey was sent to 120 firms and 64 replied, 84% of which were small businesses employing five or fewer.
The Finance and Commerce Committee said it would take the results on board.
Conseiller Robert Cottle said a forthcoming review of the structure of committees within Chief Pleas was a high priority and work would begin in the next few weeks, as soon as the island's new senior administrator was in place.
The survey showed 78.7% support for a single committee to take on overall responsibility for developing economic strategy.
'Bit of a bubble'No individual committee currently has this on its mandate.
Chamber president Paul Armorgie said Sark had largely avoided the economic consequences of the global downturn until recently.
He said: "Sark has been in a bit of a bubble for the last five years, with some major investment in the island from a number of different investors.
"That investment has largely finished for the time being and consequently we've gone back to a seasonal business model.
"It's important to work with Chief Pleas to ensure we do everything that we can to focus on improving that situation."
The first of a series of economic development workshops - to which all islanders were invited - was held in the island earlier.
The series aims to help Sark learn lessons from other jurisdictions and includes talks by Guernsey's Commerce and Employment Minister Kevin Stewart and Roy Burke, the CEO of the States of Alderney.

Movie review: 'The Fighter' starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale
The fighting isn't just in the ring in 'The Fighter,' as Mark Wahlberg's working-class boxer 'Irish' Micky Ward deals with his destructive family.
Courtesy of Paramount Pictures
David O. Russell's "The Fighter," starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, is an in-your-face – more exactly, in-your-eyes-and-ears – movie about a celebrated real-life blue-collar boxing family.
Once more, as in "The Wrestler," we have in our midst a movie about fighting as – what else? – metaphor. To its credit, unlike "The Wrestler," the metaphor often takes a back seat to the fighting, though not nearly enough for my taste. (For me, the best fight movie of the year remains Frederick Wiseman's documentary "Boxing Gym," where the fighting isn't a metaphor for anything – it's simply fighting.)
Wahlberg's "Irish" Micky Ward is a junior welterweight from Lowell, Mass., whose career, as managed by his scabrous mom Alice (Melissa Leo) and cokehead trainer and older half brother Dicky Eklund (Bale), is rocky (and "Rocky") at best. Dicky is both Micky's idol and nemesis. Ravaged as he is, he still knows more about boxing than just about anybody else. What he doesn't begin to know is how to manage his own life.

UPDATED: Tuesday, July 5, 2011 - 4:19pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — A section of River Road in Baton Rouge is now reopened to traffic.
River Road was closed just south of Brightside Lane near the BREC Farr Park Equestrian Center.
About a mile of the road was closed back in mid-May because water was seeping through the levee due to the rising Mississippi River.

SYKESVILLE — The weather may have mimicked more winter than spring this past week, but the sky opened up and poured forth warmth instead of rain Sunday afternoon for the 32nd annual Run/Walk for Someone Special.
The event broke records in both attendance and fund-raising, bringing out 412 participants and raising over $45,000 for ARC of Jefferson County and Camp Friendship, according to event organizer Frank Hetrick. "We shattered the record," Hetrick said.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsutawney Civil Service Commission approved several draft changes at Friday's special meeting that the state has proposed.
Bill Leiberton, commission chairman, said that the commission had to incorporate the new Civil Service rules and regulations that have suggested by Punxsutawney Borough Police Chief Tom Fedigan, to be approved by Punxsutawney Borough Council at tonight's meeting.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The last of nine suspects that were arrested last Wednesday and accused of distributing a controlled substance — mainly marijuana — was arrested Saturday in Oliver Township.
Vincent Bernard Myrick, 39, Punxsutawney, was arrested by Punxsutawney-based Pennsylvania State Police at 11 a.m. Saturday. According to police, the Troop C Vice Unit, from a warrant sweep conducted in the Punxsutawney area, were able to arrest Myrick thanks to an anonymous tip it received.
Police said Myrick was arrested at a trailer located along River Road, Oliver Township without incident.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Despite the unpredictable weather, there's one event that can't be stopped: The stocking of trout in area creeks, streams and Cloe Lake.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission made its traditional trek from Bellefonte to the Bell Township lake located Tuesday, with the season scheduled to open at 8 a.m. next Saturday.
Rick Vlazak, Jefferson County waterways conservation officer, said the commission has been stocking since March, and next week, will conclude the pre-season trout stockings throughout the Commonwealth.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Gary Astorino, a 1976 graduate of PAHS, is among the six inductees into the Punxsutawney Sports Hall of Fame.
During his high school career, Astorino was a three-year letterman/starter and captain in wrestling, football and senior legion baseball. He was a four-year starter in wrestling for Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and was captain during his junior and senior years.
THE INDUCTEES — Gary Astorino. — Dominic Barilar. — Roger Raybuck. — William Vassallo. — George Work. — Bruce Chambers (posthumous inductee).
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsutawney Sports Hall of Fame will hold its 11th induction banquet at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 16, in the Punxsutawney High School Cafeteria.
The keynote speaker for the evening will be Les Shoop.
Shoop is the former basketball coach at Punxsutawney with a record of 198-96. His record includes five District IX Class AAAA Championships. He coached his last Dapper Dan Round Ball classic at the Civic Arena.
BROOKVILLE — The Jefferson County Commission recently received word that it will likely not be responsible for debt in excess of $1.5 million. Elk County has agreed to purchase a Ridgway building that Jefferson County was partly responsible for. Elk County plans to use the facility as its 911 headquarters, and the purchase will eliminate Jefferson County's liability for a bond issued to purchase that building.
BIG RUN — Police are releasing further details about a Wednesday incident in which a home was damaged along Main Street in Big Run.
Punxsutawney-based Pennsylvania State Police said the incident occurred at 9:03 a.m. along East Main Street.
Police said William G. Dixon, 59, Indiana, was negotiating a left curve in the road traveling north when his 1999 Western Star tri-axle truck traveled off the right side of the road, striking a PennDOT sign.
BIG RUN — A fully loaded tri-axle coal truck caused severe damage to a home when the driver lost control while traveling north on Route 119 (East Main Street) around 9 a.m. Wednesday in Big Run.
Todd Peace, chief of the Big Run Area Volunteer Fire Company, said the driver of the truck said he was cut off by another driver in a gray vehicle while traveling north on Route 119, which caused the truck driver to swerve, leave the road and strike the porch of a house located at 222 East Main St. and cause damage to the sidewalk in front of several other homes.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — A question as to whether Cranberry Alley should be changed to a one-way street was one of the items discussed at Tuesday's Public Safety committee meeting.
Committee Chairman Mike Porada revisited the discussion of the issue from last month regarding speeding on Cranberry Alley behind the Chamber of Commerce office following a complaint from Penn Arms, whose building borders the alley.

Zakir Naik is an Indian public speaker on the subject of Islam and comparative religion. He is the founder and president of the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF),[1][2] He is sometimes referred to as a televangelist because of his work at Peace TV.[3][4] Before becoming a public speaker, he trained as a medical doctor.[4] He has published booklet versions of lectures on Islam and comparative religion. Although he has publicly disclaimed sectarianism in Islam, he is regarded as an exponent of the Salafi ideology.[5][6][7]
Zakir Naik was born in Mumbai, Maharastra, India. He attended St. Peter's High School in Mumbai. Later he enrolled at Kishinchand Chellaram College, before studying medicine at Topiwala National Medical College and Nair Hospital and later the University of Mumbai, where he obtained a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS).[1][non-primary source needed] His wife, Farhat Naik, works for the women's section of the IRF.[8]
In 1991 he started working in the field of Dawah, and founded the IRF.[9] Naik says he was inspired by Ahmed Deedat, an Islamic preacher, having met him in 1987.[10] (Naik is sometimes referred to as "Deedat plus", a label given to him by Deedat himself.)[10][11] Naik says that his goal is to "concentrate on the educated Muslim youth who have become apologetic about their own religion and have started to feel the religion is outdated".[12] He considers it a duty of every Muslim to remove perceived misconceptions about Islam and to counter what he views as the Western media's anti-Islamic bias in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.[13] Naik has said that "despite the strident anti-Islam campaign, 34,000 Americans have embraced Islam from September 2001 to July 2002". He says Islam is a religion of reason and logic, and that the Quran contains 1000 verses relating to science, which he says explains the number of Western converts.[14] Some of his articles are published in magazines such as Islamic Voice.[15]
Naik is the founder of the Islamic International School in Mumbai.[16] and United Islamic Aid, which provides scholarship to poor and destitute Muslim youth.[17]
Lectures and debates[edit]
Naik has held many debates and lectures around the world. Anthropologist Thomas Blom Hansen has written that Naik's style of memorising the Quran and Hadith literature in various languages, and his related missionary activity, has made him extremely popular in Muslim circles.[12] Many of his debates are recorded and widely distributed in video and DVD media and online. His talks are usually recorded in English and broadcast on weekends on several cable networks in Mumbai's Muslim neighbourhoods, and on the Peace TV channel, which he co-produces.[18][19] Topics he speaks on include: "Islam and Modern Science", "Islam and Christianity", and "Islam and secularism".
One of Naik's most-cited debates was with William Campbell in Chicago in April 2000, on the topic of "The Qur'an and the Bible: In the Light of Science".[20] On 21 January 2006 Naik held an inter-religious dialogue with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Bangalore about the concept of God in Islam and Hinduism.[21] In February 2011 Naik addressed the Oxford Union via video link from India.[22] Every year since November 2007 Naik has led a 10-day Peace Conference at Somaiya Ground, Sion, Mumbai. Lectures on Islam have been presented by Naik and twenty other Islamic speakers.[23]
Naik argues that scientific theories were prophesised by the Quran. For example, he says certain verses of the Quran accurately describe embryological development.[24]
- Islamic Personality of the Year Award 2013 from The Dubai International Holy Quran Award.[25][26] The award was presented by Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai and Minister of Finance and Industry of the United Arab Emirates.[27]
- On 5 November 2013, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia conferred a Ma'al Hijrah Distinguished Personality award to Naik.[28] In a ceremony at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre, the award was presented by Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Malaysia's head of state.
- On 2 February 2015, he was awarded King Faisal International Prize for Services for Islam category.[29]
Biological evolution[edit]
Naik has said that the theory of evolution is "only a hypothesis, and an unproven conjecture at best".[30] According to Naik, most scientists "support the theory, because it went against the Bible – not because it was true."[31]
Naik has said that not all Muslims who convert from Islam should necessarily receive death sentences, but that those who leave Islam and then "propagate the non-Islamic faith and speak against Islam" should be put to death in an Islamic rule.[32][33]
Naik's views and statements on terrorism have at times been criticised in the media. In a YouTube video, speaking of Osama bin Laden, Naik said that he would not criticise bin Laden because he had not met him and did not know him personally. He added that, "If bin Laden is fighting enemies of Islam, I am for him," and that "If he is terrorizing America – the terrorist, biggest terrorist – I am with him. Every Muslim should be a terrorist. The thing is that if he is terrorizing the terrorist, he is following Islam. Whether he is or not, I don't know, but you as Muslims know that, without checking up, laying allegations is also wrong."[34] When Time hinted that this remark could have inspired Najibullah Zazi's terrorist activities, Naik insisted: "I have always condemned terrorism, because according to the glorious Koran, if you kill one innocent person, then you have killed the whole of humanity".[34]
In 2010, Naik said that he had been quoted out of context regarding the remarks on terrorism. "As far as terrorist is concerned," he said, "I tell the Muslims that every Muslim should be a terrorist. ... What is the meaning of the word terrorist? Terrorist by definition means a person who terrorises. So in this context every Muslim should be a terrorist to each and every anti-social element. I'm aware that terrorist is more commonly used for a person who terrorises innocent human beings. So in this context no Muslim should ever terrorise a single innocent human being."[35]
In a lecture delivered on 31 July 2008 on Peace TV, Naik commented on the attacks of 11 September: "it is a blatant, open secret that this attack on the Twin Towers was done by George Bush himself".[36]
Propagation of other faiths in Islamic states[edit]
Naik says that propagation of other religions within an Islamic state is forbidden while he appreciates people of other religions allowing Muslims to freely propagate Islam in their country. Naik explains this by saying that, for example, mathematics teachers must teach that 2+2=4 and not 2+2=3 or 5. Likewise, Naik argues, "regarding building of churches or temples, how can we allow this when their religion is wrong and when their worshipping is wrong?"[37]
Other countries[edit]
Visit to Australia and Wales[edit]
In 2004 Naik, at the invitation of the Islamic Information and Services Network of Australasia, made an appearance at Melbourne University, where he argued that only Islam gave women true equality.[38] He said the more "revealing Western dress" makes women more susceptible to rape.[39] Sushi Das of The Age commented that "Naik extolled the moral and spiritual superiority of Islam and lampooned other faiths and the West in general", further criticising that Naik's words "fostered a spirit of separateness and reinforced prejudice".[40]
In August 2006 Naik's visit and conference in Cardiff caused controversy when Welsh MP David Davies called for his appearance to be cancelled. He said Naik was a "hate-monger", and that his views did not deserve a public platform; Muslims from Cardiff, however, defended Naik's right to speak in the city. Saleem Kidwai, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Wales, disagreed with Davies, stating that "people who know about him [Naik] know that he is one of the most uncontroversial persons you could find. He talks about the similarities between religions, and how should we work on the common ground between them", whilst also inviting Davies to discuss further with Naik personally in the conference. The conference went ahead, after the Cardiff council stated it was satisfied that he would not be preaching extremist views.[41]
2010 exclusion from the UK and Canada[edit]
Naik was denied entry into the United Kingdom and Canada in June 2010.[42][43] He was banned from entering the UK by Home Secretary Theresa May after arranging to give talks in London and Sheffield. May said of the exclusion order, "Numerous comments made by Dr Naik are evidence to me of his unacceptable behaviour".[42] Naik argued that the Home Secretary was making a political decision and not a legal one, and his lawyer said the decision was "barbaric and inhuman". He also claimed that his comments were taken out of context.[44] Film producer Mahesh Bhatt supported Naik, saying the ban constituted an attack on freedom of speech.[45] It was reported that Naik would attempt to challenge the ruling in the High Court.[46] His application for judicial review was dismissed on 5 November 2010.[9] Naik was forbidden from entering Canada after Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, warned MPs of Naik's views.[43]
Visit to Malaysia in 2012[edit]
Naik delivered four lectures in Malaysia during 2012. The lectures took place in Johor Baru, Universiti Teknologi MARA in Shah Alam,[47] Kuantan and Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur.The former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, prominent figures and several thousand people attended the lectures at different places despite protest by the members of a banned group, HINDRAF.[48] The organizers of Naik's speeches said their purpose was to promote harmony among people of various religions.[49]
Visit to Gambia in 2014[edit]
Naik visited Gambia in the year 2014 wherein he delivered lectures in the places like, Serekunda, Banjul and Kanilai. He was invited by the President of Gambia and was honoured by the Honorary Doctorate (Doctor of Humane Letters)by the University of The Gambia[50]. [51]
Reception, Awards, Titles and Honors[edit]
Naik was ranked 89 on The Indian Express's list of the "100 Most Powerful Indians in 2010".[52] He was ranked 82 in the 2009 edition.[53] According to Praveen Swami, Naik is "perhaps the most influential Salafi ideologue in India".[54] Sanjiv Buttoo says he is acknowledged as an authority on Islam, but is known for making negative remarks about other religions.[42] Sadanand Dhume writes that Naik has a "carefully crafted image of moderation", because of his gentle demeanour, his wearing of a suit and tie, and his quoting of scriptures of other religions.[55] He is also listed in the book "The 500 Most Influential Muslims" under honourable mention, in the 2009,[56] 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013/2014 [57] editions.[58] In July 2013, Naik was named as the Islamic Personality of the Year, announced by the 17th Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA).[59][60]
Year of award or honour | Name of award or honour | Awarding organisation or government |
2013 | Islamic Personality of 2013[61] | Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Award for World Peace |
2013 | Distinguished International Personality Award[62] | Agong, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, Head of state of Malaysia |
2013 | Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work | Sultan bin Mohamed Al-Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah |
2014 | Insignia of the Commander of the National Order of the Republic of The Gambia[2] | President of The Gambia Yahya Jammeh |
2014 | Honorary Doctorate (Doctor of Humane Letters)[2] | University of The Gambia |
2015 | King Faisal international Prize[63] | Kingdom of Saudi Arabia |
In The Wall Street Journal, Sadanand Dhume criticised Naik for recommending the death penalty for homosexuals and for apostasy from the faith.[64] He also criticised him for calling for India to be ruled by Shariah law. He added that, according to Naik, Jews "control America" and are the "strongest in enmity to Muslims." He maintained that Naik supports a ban on the construction of non-Muslim places of worship in Muslim lands as well as the Taliban's bombing of the Bamiyan Buddhas. Dhume argues that people reportedly drawn to Naik's message include Najibullah Zazi, the Afghan-American arrested for planning suicide attacks on the New York subway; Rahil Sheikh, accused of involvement in a series of train bombings in Bombay in 2006; and Kafeel Ahmed, the Bangalore man fatally injured in a failed suicide attack on Glasgow airport in 2007. He concluded that unless Indians find the ability to criticise such a radical Islamic preacher as robustly as they would a Hindu equivalent, the idea of Indian secularism would remain deeply flawed.[64]
The Times of India published a profile of Naik entitled "The controversial preacher" after he was banned from the United Kingdom. According to The Times, "the fact is that barring the band of Muslims whose bruised egos Naik suitably massages through his Islam supremacist talks, most rational Muslims and non-Muslims find his brand of Islam a travesty of the faith". The Times also claimed that "the Wahabi-Salafist brand of Islam, bankrolled by petro-rich Saudi Arabia and propagated by preachers like Naik, does not appreciate the idea of pluralism". The article quotes Muslim scholar Wahiduddin Khan: "Dawah, which Naik also claims to be engaged in, is to make people aware of the creation plan of God, not to peddle some provocative, dubious ideas as Naik does". He adds: "The wave of Islamophobia in the aftermath of 9/11 and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan have only added to the Muslims' sense of injury. In such a situation, when a debater like Zakir Naik, in eloquent English, takes on preachers of other faiths and defeats them during debates, the Muslims' chests puff with pride. A community nursing a huge sense of betrayal and injustice naturally lionises anyone who gives it a sense of pride. Never mind if it's false pride".[65]
Indian journalist Khushwant Singh says he "disagree[s] with almost everything [Naik] has to say about misconceptions about Islam". Singh argues that Naik's pronouncements are "juvenile", and said "they seldom rise above the level of undergraduate college debates, where contestants vie with each other to score brownie points".[66] Singh also says Naik's audiences "listen to him with rapt attention and often explode in enthusiastic applause when he rubbishes other religious texts".[67]
Torkel Brekke, a professor of religious history in Norway, calls Naik a "very controversial figure" because of his rhetorical attack on other religions and other varieties of Islam. He writes that Naik is "strongly disliked" by many members of the Indian ulema for ignoring their authority and stating that anybody can interpret the Quran.[68] Conservative Deobandi mullahs have accused Naik of "destroying Islam" by driving Muslims away from the correct religious authorities.[69]
Khaled Ahmed criticised Naik for "indirectly support[ing]" Al-Qaeda by referring to Osama bin Laden as a "soldier of Islam".[70] In 2008 an Islamic scholar in Lucknow, shahar qazi Mufti Abul Irfan Mian Firangi Mahali, issued a fatwa against Naik, saying that he supported Osama bin Laden, and that his teachings were un-Islamic.[71]
Praveen Swami considers Naik to be a part of the ideological infrastructure created to feed "Tempered Jihad", which he defines as Jihad calibrated to advance Islamist political objectives.[54] Swami argued that some of Naik's teachings are similar to those of organizations advocating violence, although Naik himself emphatically rejects terrorism.[72] According to Swami, Naik's IRF has proved to be a "magnet" for figures linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba, while his message has mesmerised violent Islamists, and his works "help make sense of the motivations of Indian recruits to the jihad."[54]

What, no reference to Gil Scott Heron's "B-Movie"?
The media, not just Hollywood, has for years if not centuries been reacting to and conditioning, as it's not all one-way traffic, our expectations.

What, no reference to Gil Scott Heron's "B-Movie"?
The media, not just Hollywood, has for years if not centuries been reacting to and conditioning, as it's not all one-way traffic, our expectations.
Lower voices are correlated somewhat with actual differences in character. Among professional singers, tenors are perceived (rightly or wrongly) as boyish, sometimes irresponsible. Basses seems especially serious. Baritones (the intermediate vocal type and the most numerous) come across as regular guys. These perceptions may conceivably have a basis in reality: the hormonal differences that affect the changing voice in adolescence could shape brain development as well.
Was this survey conducted with children or what? I mean people getting influenced by such traits.
So that's how Thatcher got elected....
I recall a Thatcher retrospective that made mention of the fact that once she became Prime Minister she actively changed her voice by speaking from the back of the throat so that it came out deeper and less shrill. This was from advice received from an image consultant.
Intriguingly one of the criticisms of Ed Milliband is the nasal quality of his voice.
On the other hand, it's not a bad thing to see your leader towering over his worldwide peers on some news conference.
"given that our leaders are no longer expected to slay our enemies on a battlefield."
Maybe not in England.
Well, Brazilians now do expect Dilma Rousseff to slay some quantitative-easing-lovin' rich-world central bankers in the currency war battlefields.
Not to mention one or two corrupt and/or underperforming ministers/secretaries every month. It is common knowledge that Brasilia now lives in fear of that deep contralto voice.
Barry White is dead, which is too bad. He'd have my vote having done more for me personally than any current candidate and having helped me in precisely the way I look to the government for assistance.
Well, perhaps James Earl Jones would make a good replacement? Or would his best-known voice role (Darth Vader) overshadow his other, more avuncular-sounding work?
He'd have inspired to die in the battlefield...
James Earl Jones would do nicely. Actually, even better as Darth Vader.
Darth also plays a mean harp... I'd follow a leader like that to the ends of the earth...
No-one's mentioned Thatcher yet! Didn't she get elocution lessons near the start of her career in order to deepen her voice and make her sound more serious?
"But all this preference for physical alpha-males should trouble us slightly, given that our leaders are no longer expected to slay our enemies on a battlefield."
Just don't expect humanity to evolve so fast, unless you can take a Pupeteer's approach to human K'zin.
PS you forgot the most salient factor: calf size. ;)
"Alex, I'll take 'Obscure Larry Niven Allusions' for $400, please."
I rely on the fact that Google reveals all to those with a seeking mind.
You have proven your Strakh, teacup
Damn, does that mean I can get 50 year scotch with it?
According to my Republican version of history, Reagan shook down the Berlin wall with his thunderous voice.
No wonder you're in love with T Rex. This article makes it all clear.
Good dentition also helps.
The arms are a bit of a turn off tho'.
Mr Gorbachev, turn off these electric fences...
It is highly suggestive of fundamental difference in Japanese perception of leadership that most successful Japanese leaders are and have been of smaller than average height. This could be attributable to the Imperial House being known to produce less-than-average height throughout its history (among our 100+ emperors, those with alpha male statures are very rare).
Or it may reflect the natural human desire to take advantage of the only opportunity they have to cut rulers down to size.
Yeh, you're wimpy, and you'd do well to keep in mind who put you in power... sir.
" ...most successful Japanese leaders are and have been of smaller than average height..."
It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog...
One learns the hard way that those "less-than-average height" opponents are the ones who will sneak in that deadly "tsuki"; while the big guys, who want to display their power, almost always can be defeated...

Steep gas prices won't stop traveling on Memorial Day
Washington, D.C. (NBC) — Four dollar gas may be affecting our lives, but according to AAA, it is not going to keep us home this Memorial Day weekend.
Almost 35 million Americans do plan to travel this Memorial Day, the most since 2007.
Some people will do that by taking shorter trips, while others will use more fuel efficient cars.
Nine out of ten holiday travelers are still expected to drive to their destinations, that number down only slightly from last year, in spite of gas prices rising more than a dollar.
Meanwhile, air travel is forecast to rise 11.5% over last year even though airfares have skyrocketed as well.
High costs sure to be a part of many holiday plans this year, but it seems Americans aren't willing to stay home.
With the defeat of two very partisan energy bills in the senate this week, some members of Congress have promised to keep pushing new energy packages, while many are calling on President Obama to help broker a deal.

"Honestly...I'm a little scared," she admitted.
"Don't worry about it," he reassured her. "It's nothing to be afraid of."
"It's different for you; you've done all of this before. I-I haven't. It's my first time, so I have no idea what to do." She was so nervous that she was shaking, but at the same time her cheeks were flushed with excitement.
"Stop worrying, babe. Just follow my lead and you'll do fine."
When she looked at him, she could see it in his eyes. He was ready to go, but she was holding him back. She was still afraid, but he was worth it. If he was ready to go there, then so was she.
"Alright then," she took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down. "Let's go. I can do this."
A smile spread across his face when she spoke; he'd been afraid that she would back out.
"Great. Great!" He was full of energy now. Before she could even take her hat off, he had her by the hand and was leading her out the door and down the hall.
"You know, you're lucky I love you," she said in an out-of-breath voice as she struggled to keep up with him.
"Oh, I know. I'm very lucky. Just promise me one thing, babe," his eyes gleamed with a certain mischief. "Try not to scream too loud when I kill the old man."
