"This is Abu
Ghraib by
power point
and
lectern....
What they are
talking about
is essentially
genocide," of
Muslims --

Weinstein,

the nonprofit
Military

Freedom
Foundation:
"[W]hen it
halted the
arms deal last
year, State
Department
officials
promised to
monitor
Bahrain’s
response to
the Bahrain
Independent
Commission of
Inquiry
(BICI), which
investigated
the crackdown,
when deciding
whether to
resume the
deal. The BICI
found evidence
of systematic
abuse ...
including
torture of
protesters":
"Israel will
end solitary
confinement
for all
prisoners and
allow around
400 prisoners
from Gaza to
receive family
visits." Those
imprisoned
"without
charge or
trial, the key
issue behind
the hunger
strike[, ]will
not have their
terms renewed
without fresh
information or
evidence being
brought before
a military
judge":
"Lehava, the
extremist
Jewish
organization
for the
prevention of
assimilation
in the Holy
Land, has come
up with a new
gimmick that
is creating a
stormy debate
on the issue
of mixed
marriages
between Jews
and Arabs,"
distributing
"an imaginary
wedding
invitation
between Michal
and her chosen
groom,
Mohammad":
"Najafi denied
his song
focused on the
revered Shia
imam or was
meant to
criticise
Islam. The
song takes the
form of a
prayer to the
ninth century
Naqi and
expresses
ironic
reverence for
many
contemporary
Iranian
figures [w]ith
references
ranging from
Iranians’ love
of nose jobs
to economic
sanctions and
the contested
2009
presidential
election":
After being
"nearly wiped
out during
Syria's last
revolution,
during which
government
forces killed
as many as
25,000 people
in Hama in
1982":
"Twenty-four
year old Majid
Jamali Fashi
was hanged at
Tehran's Evin
Prison after
being
sentenced to
death in
August last
year for the
murder of
Massoud
Ali-Mohammadi,
Iran's state
news agency
quoted the
central
prosecutor's
office as
saying. It
said he had
confessed to
the crime":
"General Shah
knows that he
owes his
selection to
his military
background.
The community
expects him to
use baton and
toughness to
restore
discipline,
end nepotism
and ensure
uniform
application of
laws in the
campus. He,
however,
promised to
give priority
to students by
raising their
living
standards and
ensuring
quality
education":
"MI5, which
carried out
routine
security
vetting in
2006 for
Scotland Yard,
warned that he
could have
visited a
training
camp—which Mr
Rahman
vehemently
denies. Pc
Rahman was
never charged,
but had his
security
clearance
removed—which
effectively
made him
unemployable
as a cop":
