*A nun in the United States has been accused of spending more than £165,000 of church money on casino trips, presents and flights.* *Sister Barbara Markey*, the co-author of a popular Catholic marriage preparation programme used in Britain as well as the US, *was fired in January as the director of the Omaha Archdiocese's family life office over alleged financial irregularities. * *An audit claims she spent $67,656 (£37,200) of the archdiocese's cash in casinos, $33,488 on gifts for her family and friends, and $24,775 on "airfares, miles and transportation".* The audit also showed that *she allegedly opened a bank account in June 1999 and withdrew $76,628 from it to make payments on her personal credit card. * Sister Markey, a Notre Dame nun and clinical psychologist, co-wrote FOCCUS (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study), which is widely used by the Catholic Church, and speaks nationally and internationally on its behalf. *An arrest warrant said she spent $307,545 for her personal use or without documentation. * *Sister Markey was charged with theft by deception,* which is *punishable by up to 20 years in prison*.

He currently lives together out of wed-lock with Marlene Van Doorn - a documentalist in African Studies Center (ASC) library - in Leiden. Jusfiq Hadjar has, thus far, succesfully deceived many NGOs into believing that he is a human rights activistist. One of the NGOs that has been trapped in his lies is a Muslim human rights group, the Movement against Racism and for Friendship among Peoples. Jusfiq Hadjar is very active in his campaigns against Islam and Muslims on the Internet, especially in several Indonesian mailing lists. He will spread massive amounts of offensive, slanderous, lying statements against Islam and Muslims day in and day out and at the same time claiming that he is a Muslim. Undoubtedly, Jusfiq Hadjar is one of those people who still thinks that adhering to a daily routine of cursing and swearing on the Internet would help to make him look intelligent and preserve his sanity. It shoots no wonder then if you find mosts of his writings on the Internet are just about cursing and swearing at Muslims and licking the ass of his christian friends. Jusfiq Hadjar has joined several mailing lists in order to spread his severe hatred against Islam and Muslim on the Internet: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/islamkristen/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/proletar/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/apakabar/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/minangnet/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/istiqlal/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/partai-keadilan/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ijtihad/<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/partai-keadilan/> Marlene Van Doorn is very supportive of his life partner's evil activities on the Internet, and gives her financial support by providing him with meals, accomodation and Internet connection. He is also allegedly financed by Leiden church. He has no children. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
