Swiss couple victim of marriage 'hate video' in Maldives

The Maldives expressed "shock and disgust" Wednesday after a video surfaced of a Swiss couple being mocked and insulted by a celebrant during their marriage ceremony at a luxury hotel. In the video, posted on YouTube several days ago, a couple can be seen seated opposite the celebrant as they renew their wedding vows at the Vilu Reef hotel, which charges 400 dollars a night for the use of its honeymoon suite. Speaking in the local Dhivehi language, the celebrant calls the couple "swine" amid a host of other insults during a hateful profanity-laced tirade littered with often bizarre personal and religious-tinged taunts. Muslim-majority Maldives, a nation of 1,192 tiny coral islets scattered some 550 miles (880 kilometres) across the equator, is one of South Asia's most expensive holiday destinations and is popular among Western honeymooners. Foreign Minister Ahmed Shaheed said he was "horrified" to see the video. "I was shocked and horrified,"...

Russian legal official tried for rape of three girls

A former Russian legal official has gone on trial for the rape of three under-age girls in a case which raised fears of a cover-up. Viktor Basov, 29, was working as a deputy district prosecutor in Russia's far eastern Khabarovsk region when he was arrested in December. He denied raping the girls, one aged 14 and the others 15, one after the other. The regional prosecutor shut the case within hours, only for federal prosecutors to reinstate it. Mr Basov went on trial in Khabarovsk on Wednesday on charges of raping and sexually assaulting all three girls, first inside his car, then again inside his flat. 'Premature' arrest Alerted by the parents of the girls, police had arrested Mr Basov hours after he allegedly committed his crimes on Sunday 6 December, Russian media report. He was released on 7 December when regional prosecutor Vitaly Kaplunov ruled the launching of the case to have been "unlawful, unfounded, unmotivated and premature", and closed it. An official ...

NY man charged with planning to kill former President George W. Bush

A suburban Rochester, New York, man described as potentially "the next Oklahoma City bomber" has been arrested and charged with planning to kill former President George W. Bush, according to federal authorities. The suspect, 23-year-old Ian Rotunno of Greece, New York, repeatedly told Secret Service agents he was intent on killing the former president, and had planned to go to Washington or Texas to carry out that mission. However, Rotunno, after loading his truck with assorted weapons, turned himself in to Owego, New York, police on October 7. Rotunno was charged Tuesday in federal court in Buffalo with "knowingly threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict bodily harm upon a former President of the United States." If convicted, he could receive up to 10 years in prison. Secret Service Agent Joel Blackerby said in an affidavit that Rotunno believes the U.S. government is corrupt and it is his job to do "whatever is necessary to stop it, call attention to his views...

Arizona convicted killer's last words: 'Boomer Sooner'

The state of Arizona executed convicted killer Jeffrey Landrigan late Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for the lethal injection, a corrections official said. The execution was carried out at 10:26 p.m. (12:26 a.m. ET), said Barrett Marson, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Corrections. "I'd like to say 'thank you' to my family for being here and all of my friends," were Landrigan's final words, according to Marson. He concluded with "Boomer Sooner," a cheer often used by University of Oklahoma fans. Landrigan's last meal consisted of steak, fried okra, french fries, strawberry ice cream and a Dr. Pepper, Marson said. READ MORE

Italian seaside town planning miniskirt ban

seaside city in Italy is planning to ban miniskirts and other revealing clothing to improve what the mayor calls standards of public decency. Castellammare di Stabia is trying to be the latest location in Italy to make use of new powers to crack down on what is deemed to be anti-social behaviour. Mayor Luigi Bobbio said the regulations would help "restore urban decorum and facilitate better civil co-existence". Offenders would face fines of between 25 euros (£22) and 500 euros (£440). 'Right decision' "Nothing too revealing" is the new policy Mayor Bobbio wants to enforce, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy in Rome. That means a tough new dress code which would effectively outlaw everything from miniskirts to low-cut jeans when people walk around Castellammare di Stabia, our correspondent adds. Mr Bobbio, from the centre-right People of Freedom party, says he wants to target people who are "rowdy, unruly or simply badly behaved". There will also be ...

Nude photos and cruel messages, teen digital dating abuse grows

There were no scars, no bruises to indicate the abuse Allyson Pereira, a 16-year-old high school sophomore in New Jersey, had suffered. Her emotional pain was caused by her high school boyfriend, who blitzed her with cruel comments via instant messages, e-mails and MySpace, calling her ugly and accusing her of cheating. Then, he dumped her. A month later, he changed his mind. She said he gave her an offer: Text him a naked picture of herself, and he would get back together with her. Pereira, now 21, regrets sending her boyfriend the topless picture that was subsequently forwarded to other students in her high school. She never expected the image would be spread like wildfire. "I was so ashamed, embarrassed and mad," she said. "Someone actually came to me and said 'You're Ally. Is that you?' " READ MORE

Spanish prostitutes don reflective vests to avoid fines

Prostitutes working along a main road outside a Spanish city are wearing reflective yellow jackets to avoid police fines. Police say the women are a traffic hazard on the busy LL-11 east of Lleida in Catalonia and face fines of 40 euros (£35) for not wearing the bright bibs. Officers say they are simply enforcing a law that applies to everyone walking along rural highways. Lleida recently banned street prostitution. However, the area where the prostitutes work, Els Alamus, is outside the city limits. Police say the women congregate at roundabouts and without the jackets they pose a danger to themselves and to drivers. A Catalonian police spokesman said: "In the past couple of months the prostitutes have been fined for two reasons - for not wearing the reflective jacket and for creating danger on the public highway." The mayor of Els Alamus, Josep Maria Bea, told Spanish media that the fact that the women use reflective vests does not solve the problem of prostitution in the m...

Allah's Being & the Limits of Human Imagination

Everything in our limited experience must have a beginning and end. We ourselves are born and we ultimately die. This is the case with our parents and forefathers as well as with our children and descendants. Such relationships permeate creation. Some people, due to intellectual weakness or simplicity, assume that everything must be comparable to their own past experience. They rely on the imagination, which is really only capable of visualizing that which has in one way or another already been experienced. This is why the imagination is incapable of grappling with absolutes and with universal concepts. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was referring to the limits of human reason when he said: People will keep asking questions until they come to asking: “Allah created the universe, but who created Allah?” Whoever has thoughts like this should simply declare: “I believe in Allah.” Seek Allah’s help and desist from such thoughts. [Sahīh Muslim (134)] The human mind has limitations, an...

How to raise a creative genius

"I think that the best part of it all [reading] is, it can put you in another environment and tell you about something that you may not think of on your own. It can give you experiences that you may not be able to obtain yourself," Jolisa said. When Gavin Ovsak started multiplying double-digit numbers in his head in kindergarten, his mother, Cathy, was astonished. "We were like, where did that come from? When did they cover that today?" said his mother, who lives in Hopkins, Minnesota. Today, Gavin is a 16-year-old award-winning inventor who's finishing up applications for two prestigious science competitions. His entry is the Circuit-Hat Accessibility Device, an electronic hat that allows disabled people to use a computer without a mouse. When he's not working on these kinds of projects, he's performing improv comedy, leading a robotics team and heading his school's foreign exchange club -- and, of course, homework. What motivates this passion for l...

My MOTHER....

October 19, 2010

My mom only had one eye. I hated her… she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at the local market. She collected little weeds and such to sell… anything for the money that we needed, she was such an embarrassment. There was t...his one day during primary school. I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I cast her a hateful look and ran away. The next day at school…’your mom only has one eye?!’ and they taunted me. I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world, so I said to my mom, ‘Mom, why don’t you have the other eye?! You’re making me a laughing stock. Why don’t you just die?’ My mom didn’t respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time it felt good to think that I had said what I’d wanted to say all this time. Maybe it was because my mom didn’t punish me, but I didn’t think that I had hurt her feelings. That night…I woke up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was...

Sex Survey at D.C. School Sparks Controversy

A Washington, D.C., middle school is under fire after distributing a survey to seventh-graders asking both boys and girls about their sexual orientations and whether they knew how to put on a condom, among other sex-based questions. “Our local data show that almost 23 percent of middle school students -- and this was in a 2009 survey -- said that they had already had sexual intercourse once,” he said. “We know that we have an STD epidemic that’s 16 times the national average, that our pregnancy rates are three times the national average … so what we know is that young people are sexually active and we need to work together parents, schools, all of us to make sure young people get the information and skills they need to protect themselves.” The survey, developed by Metro TeenAIDS, a group dedicated to helping young people fight against HIV/AIDS, was intended to raise awareness of sexually transmitted diseases and teach the children how to avoid them, MyFoxDC.com reported. But some paren...

Prosecutors Ask to Drop Anti-Islam Charges Against Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders

The prosecutors now say that Wilders was targeting the religion, not Muslim individuals, and he has some leeway as a lawmaker to make statements about social problems, Reuters reported. Earlier this month, Wilders appealed for freedom of expression and then exercised his right to silence as the trial began, at a time when his popularity and influence in the Netherlands are near all-time highs.

Islamic face-veil part of 'British way of life'

The full Islamic face-veil is a part of the “British way of life” and should be celebrated along with religious symbols such as the crucifix, according to a report published today. Opponents of the veil claim it oppresses women and presents a barrier between those who wear traditional dress and the rest of society. But in a new report from think-tank Civitas, Alveena Malik, a former faith adviser to the last Labour government, said the test of whether religious symbols are appropriate should be based on whether they are practical. Politicians in France and Belgium have voted in favour of banning the full veil, or “niqab”, and other European countries are thought to be considering similar action. In a new report, Women, Islam and Western Liberalism, Mrs Malik said: “We in Britain need to take a different direction from others in Europe and to accept the veil as part of a modern British way of life.” She continued: “The wearing of religious symbols, including the full veil, should be a f...

Retired French schoolteacher in 'niqab rage' case

"For me, wearing the veil is an act of aggression; I felt attacked as a woman," she said. The plaintiff allegedly refused and continued shopping with a friend and two small children. When Mrs Ruby bumped into her a few minutes later and saw she was still wearing the veil, she allegedly "snapped". Rushing at the woman in black, she tore off her niqab and scratched and slapped her alleged victim. Mrs Al-Suwaidi claimed her alleged assailant then bit her right hand and cried: "Now I can see your face." In an interview with Le Parisien before the trial, Mrs Ruby explained: "I find it unacceptable that someone should be wearing a niqab in this country of human rights. Jeanne Ruby, a retired 63-year-old English teacher told police that she "snapped" when she spied the woman from the United Arab Emirates, whose whole face was covered, in a home furnishings shop in Paris' chic 15th arrondissement. The case came a week after France's Constitu...

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy not welcome at the Vatican

Vatican officials are said to have sent the French ambassador an unambiguous message concerning the Italian-born supermodel's presence during her husband's 30-minute audience with the Pontiff earlier this month, namely: "Carla Sarkozy is not welcome in the Vatican." Le Canard Enchaîné, the satirical weekly said the Pope was concerned that her presence would spark a rash of nude and scantily-clad photos from her modelling career being published in Italian newspapers.

New fish species found deep below ocean surface

Scientists have discovered a new species of fish living almost 4 1/2 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The ghostly white snailfish was found September 10 in the Peru-Chile trench in the South Pacific by an international team of marine biologists led by Alan Jamieson of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. The scientists also found cusk-eels and crustaceans living in the trench off the west coast of South America. Those creatures had never before been observed at such depths, where sunlight never penetrates and water pressure is almost 10,000 pounds per square inch. Read more

'Water mining' is now a prime culprit for raising sea levels

October 10, 2010

Nowhere in the Maldives juts more than 10 feet above the Indian Ocean, making it extremely worried about sea level rise. Its president, Mohamed Nasheed, illustrated the point by holding a cabinet meeting under water in the run-up to last year's Copenhagen summit. But a new study shows that global warming is not the only cause of swelling seas. Much comes from "water mining" – the pumping of vast amounts of groundwater from beneath the earth, mainly to irrigate crops. This inevitably ends up in the oceans after it evaporates from farmland and comes down as rain. READ MORE

Grand mufti's warning: Don't look at pornography!

Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Asheikh has warned young men and women against watching pornography on the Internet and satellite channels in his Friday sermon at the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh. “The eyesight is a bounty given to us by Allah so we should not misuse it,” he said, adding that it is sacrilegious to sell or circulate CDs containing pornography. “This is a means to deviate the youth and corrupt society,” he said, adding that modern technology should be used to benefit man, and for educational purposes.

US woman mistakenly uses glue instead of eye drops

A woman accidentally glued an eye shut when she mistook super glue for her eye drops. KSAZ-TV says Irmgard Holm of Glendale had cataract surgery a year ago. She was reaching for what she thought was one of her half-dozen eye drop medications. The burning sensation told her immediately something was seriously wrong. Holm says the eye drops and the super glue bottles are nearly identical. READ MORE

Last puff: S.African famed smoking chimp dies

Qondile Khedama, a spokesman for the central South African city of Bloemfontein where Charlie had been a fixture at the small zoo, says the chimp died Tuesday, apparently of old age. Charlie was believed to be 52. Khedama says zoo officials noticed about five years ago that visitors were tossing Charlie cigarettes, and he was mimicking smokers. Khedama says zookeepers tried to stop visitors from encouraging Charlie in a habit many humans are trying to quit. Newspapers picked up the story. Charlie featured in a US TV news report, and became the first animal visitors would ask to see. Khedama says Charlie’s body will be mounted and displayed in an area featuring other preserved, popular zoo residents. READ MORE
