It is easy to understand that people got carried away in the Madeleine case. So mush media, such a sweet girl and a gifted family. It had all the ingredients a thriller need. Media, TV, newspapers and magazines earned fortunes on the girl and the tragic incident.

I wonder if this case will get the same interest. It seems to lack some of the ingredients people love to read about, such as LadyD, Britney Spares, etc, ets ala this site http://www.celebspin.com/ site (I just googled “celebrity news”)

What is the difference? Why are we still supporting this regime when we overthrow the other one?

This is a thing I have been thinking about for a long time. We label people the whole time, I do, you do, and we all do to some degree.
Hejab is one of the things that people easily put a label on. Some Muslims say that a woman that doesn’t put on a hejab isn’t a Muslim. On the other hand some people say that she is fundamentalist in a negative sense if she is dressed in a hejab. I know that some of you describe yourself as fundamentalists but that is another discussion.
I’ve always thought that the prohibition of hejab in countries like France and Turkey is not right. The thing that troubles me are peoples tendency to think; either/or.
The world is in short supply of Tolerance. Intolerance is a horse head ahead.
Any thoughts?

Here is an interesting blog.

Members of the Stop Stoning Forever campaign in Iran, citing ‘credible sources’ have told Norwegian media that the man, identified as Jafar Keyiani, was stoned Thursday in Takestan, western Iran.

Lullabies from the axis of evil

I would be worried; they said on our news that this CD was blacklisted by the US authorities.

Sorry but I couldn’t find any links yet but I remember it was on our news when they were making this CD; they had huge problems finding a record company willing to produce the music. I also wrote about it on catstevens.com but no one noticed it.

Lullabies, holy shit,,,,,, sorry.

This happens far too often and I just don’t get it. It is a taboo to talk about.
I hardly dare to post this link here.

Krekar claims Islam will win
Norway’s most controversial refugee, Mullah Krekar, told an Oslo newspaper on Monday that there’s a war going on between “the West” and Islam. He said he’s sure that Islam will win, and he also had praise for suspected terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

Here should be plenty of interesting stuff for us who lives where the grass is green.
I wonder if Mr. Bush read this kind of stuff? http://www.riverbendblog.blogspot.com/
