bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Islam thrives as Russia's population falls Russia is in the midst of startling transformation. Islamic faith is thriving across the country. If current trends continue, experts say, more than half of Russia's population will be Muslim by mid-century. Spurring on the mob was Alexander Belov, charismatic head of the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, an increasingly powerful lobby group that has staged dozens of rallies in recent months. In an interview at a Czech restaurant in central Moscow, Belov railed against what he called the growing "Islamification" of Russia. "Russia is historically a Slavic, Orthodox Christian land and we need to make sure it stays that way," he said, adding that Orthodox Christianity should be enshrined as Russia's official religion and efforts made to convert Muslims. Islam is currently recognized as one of Russia's official religions, along with Orthodox Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism. Like many nationalists, Belov makes no distinction between Muslim immigrants and Russian citizens of Islamic faith. He says Muslims, no matter what their citizenship, should be restricted from living in "traditional Russian lands." http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1165099811123&call_page=TS_World&call_pageid=968332188854&call_pagepath=News/World&pubid=968163964505 === U.S. tracks Canadians for terror traits Monitoring system stores data on flights, licence plates, credit cards, addresses WASHINGTONThe U.S. government knows where you sat on your last cross-border flight, how you paid for your ticket, your email address, your phone number, even your special meal requests in the past. They won't let you look at the information but they can share it with law enforcement agencies, foreign governments, even public health agencies and they can keep the dossiers compiled on millions of Canadian travellers for up to 40 years. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1165014634572&call_pageid=968332188854&col=968350060724 === 9/11 : Close-Up of WTC-7 Collapse Footage Shows Unmistakable Demolition Charges I had stayed away from the issue of puffs of smoke and debris coming out of the World Trade Center buildings up until now because most of them could be explained as air being forced out through windows as ceilings collapsed onto the floors. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2004/281104unmistakablecharges.htm But this video (and this one HERE) is a convincer! http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/wtc7_cutter.wmv === The U.S. Has a History of Using Torture Mr. McCoy is J.R.W. Smail Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror (New York: Metropolitan Books, 2006). In April 2004, Americans were stunned when CBS broadcast those now-notorious photographs from Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, showing hooded Iraqis stripped naked while U.S. soldiers stood by smiling. As this scandal grabbed headlines around the globe, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insisted that the abuses were "perpetrated by a small number of U.S. military," whom New York Times columnist William Safire soon branded "creeps"--a line that few in the press had reason to challenge. http://www.hnn.us/articles/32497.html === End is near in Babylon Iraqs prime minister, Nuri Al Maliki, governs only over Baghdads US-protected Green Zone.

"You won't have any problem with Saddam," the Jewish congressman continued. "We'll be rid of the bastard soon enough.
