Afghani Lawmakers Look to Ban Televised Dancing, Moderates Call for Kevin B
2008-04-01 13:40:00 80s Style Bacon Can Fix Afghanistan. Remember when we kicked the crap out of the Taliban and sent them running into the hills? They are creeping back in, and have made their way into the Afghani parliament, or so it seems: Afghanistan’s lower house of Parliament passed a resolution Monday seeking to bar television programs from showing dancing and other practices deemed un-Islamic. The decision came just days after the private Tolo TV channel aired a dance number featuring men and women together on an Afghan film awards program. The Information and Culture Ministry condemned the scene, saying “dancing by men and women together was completely against the culture of the Afghan, Muslim society.” Folks, you give these guys an inch, and they will take your freedoms. This is just the beginning, and if the people of influence and common sense in Afghanistan don’t speak up, they will lose everything again to sharia law: Tolo TV’s owner Saad Mohseni said the...

Consumer Inflation Moderates In February? Really?

The headline was Consumer inflation moderates in February: WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Led by a quirky decline in energy costs, U.S. consumer inflation moderated in February, opening the door for the Federal Reserve to keep cutting interest rates to support flagging economic growth.

Gallup 6 Year Poll: 93% of Muslims are Moderates
2008-03-06 23:28:00 Gallup poll: 93% of Muslims are moderatesThe study was conducted from 2001 to 2007, and was very extensive.About 93 percent of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are moderates and only seven percent are politically radical, according to the poll, based on more than 50,000 interviews. In majority Muslim countries, overwhelming majorities said religion was a very important part of their lives -- 99 percent in Indonesia, 98 percent in Egypt, 95 percent in Pakistan.But only seven percent of the billion Muslims surveyed -- the radicals -- condoned the attacks on the United States in 2001, the poll showed. Moderate Muslims interviewed for the poll condemned the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington because innocent lives were lost and civilians killed. (AFP)To be fair, 7% of 1.3 billion is 91 million. Of course, percentage wise, this number isn't as significant.Any thoughts?

Moderates to Conservatives: Don?t Cut Off Your Nose : Use a Clothes-pin
2008-02-09 23:13:00 Right about now it’s time for far right conservatives in the Republican party to begin thinking about the consequences of a Barack Mohammad Obama or a Trans-gender Clinton presidency. Think about the ramifications. Think about any upcoming Supreme Court nominations. Think about Iran with nukes. Think about massive civil war in Iraq and the ...

Don?t Listen To The Moderates
2008-01-05 23:21:00 “Don’t even think of listening to what those centrists have to say” is the message which keeps coming from parts of the blogosphere.

Islam?s Silent Moderates
2007-12-10 14:28:00 It is often said that Islam has been ?hijacked? by a small extremist group of radical fundamentalists. The vast majority of Muslims are said to be moderates. But where are the moderates? Why do they not speak out against Islamic extremist acts like these?
Sunday Opinion: Will Illegal Immigration Push Kentucky Moderates Toward McC
2007-12-09 16:48:00 The political analysis provided (HERE) showed a clear slide for Senator Mitch McConnell (R) among Kentucky moderates. The trends showed a possible continuation of a McConnell slide among not only moderates but voters age 55+ and Independents. BUT will Illegal Immigration help McConnell among Kentucky's most important political and ideological group, Kentucky moderates and Kentucky Democrats better have a battle plan and fast. McConnell's approval rating, due later this month, will provide maybe the most important data of the first qaurter for 2008. It is imperative that Kentucky Democrats and Democratic candidates, or Col. Horne, not allow McConnell to corner the moderate market. McConnell is now pushing a plan (HERE) that will provide legal immigrants ID cards. It is being billed as U.S immigrant employer protection plan. In this year's regular session of the Kentucky General Assembly, a bill has been prefiled ,by Rep. Rick Nelson (D), that would effect the illegal immigration...

Calling All Moderates
2007-10-02 17:14:00 "By 'radical,' I understand one who goes too far; by 'conservative,' one who does not go far enough; by 'reactionary,' one who will not go at all." -Woodrow Wilson, former President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson books// I believe that most people in America, and throughout the world, have sensible political ideologies that are usually in the middle. Personally, I consider myself to be slightly "left of center" on most issues, and the majority of people that I know are right-or-left-leaning moderates as well. Radicals make me nervous because they always want sweeping and drastic changes, whereas conservatives irritate me as they trudge through every issue looking for reasons not to...

Moderates and Extremists
2007-09-11 22:37:00 While this post hasn’t got any replies so far (mainly, I believe, because the image has already been posted by other members of Planet Atheism, so it’s probably not new to readers of this blog), its equivalent on my technology blog did draw a few ones, which inspired me to write this (right here, because ...

Muslims ?moderates? wonder why Americans don?t trust them: Here?s why
2007-09-05 03:55:00 Because when a “moderate” helps fight Terror, THEIR OWN MOSQUE casts them out. When a reasonable person who lives by the Muslim faith helps in stopping terrorism, they get chastized, ridiculed and ultimately ran out of their own Mosque. Take this Canadian Muslim for example who helped authorities stop a terror plot in Canada and ...
Understanding how multimedia playback moderates network transfer speeds
2007-08-27 20:17:00 Mark Russinovich, one of our Technical Fellows and a prominent member of the Windows community, posted today on a topic that's received much discussion in the past few days -- that being the manner in which Windows Vista throttles network traffic on gigabit Ethernet networks when the user is engaged in multimedia playback. As Mark puts it, "many people have correctly surmised that the degradation in network performance during multimedia playback is directly connected with mechanisms employed by the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS), a feature new to Windows Vista." This throttling of network traffic is mainly apparent on networks with infrastructure allowing gigabit throughput and is experienced by a user receiving, as opposed to sending, data. The explanation is quite technical and rather esoteric, but the gist is that when receiving data on faster networks, the number of system interrupts is increased and because network-driven system interrupts are handled at high...
Muslim moderates, Muslim secularism
2007-05-24 23:15:00 via neoneocon.com : Here?s a must-read (and it?s relatively short, too) by Robert Spencer on the topic of Muslim secularism. We often speak of the need for moderate Muslims. And it?s undoubtedly true that some Muslims are indeed moderate. But as Spencer points out, that is no guarantee against a repressive Muslim theocracy such as that in Iran which, once imposed (even if this is initially done democratically), is very difficult to reverse. Ataturk of Turkey was aware of the dilemma back in the 1920?s and 1930?s, when he instituted a number of exceedingly important reforms there that made it far less likely that the country would ever come under the sway of a repressive Muslim theocracy. And, although there is currently a threat of theocrats taking over in Turkey, so far Ataturk?s institutional reforms have held the line against it. This was done, as Spencer points out, not by making Turkey a ?moderate Muslim? country, but by adopting a nearly Western-style separation of church ...

Washington Times: Finding the Moderates
2007-04-17 08:08:00 My new Washington Times column, which will likely ruffle some feathers, is about how to improve relations between counterterrorism experts and Muslims. An excerpt: In the counterterrorism world, we often demand accountability and self-criticism from Muslim leaders. I believe it is right to do so. But often Muslims feel they are unfairly singled out, or automatically ...
When Moderates protest, they are ignored
2007-04-16 02:46:00 Imagine a pro democracy demonstration against religious extremists who want to impose a tyranny on their country. Should make headlines, right? Wrong. Yet such a demonstration was held in Ankara Turkey last weekend when a quarter million people demonstrated against a leading political party choosing an Islamicist as their candidate. Many women worry that Islamicist laws will weaken ...

Moderates and Extremists, oh my!
2006-12-29 18:00:02 From the AP, Tony Blair speaks on Wednesday on the dangerously misleading topic of "moderates and extremists": DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair wrapped up a Middle East tour Wednesday with a blunt speech warning that the world faces a monumental struggle between moderates and extremists - and labeling Iran the main obstacle to hopes for peace. In an address to business leaders and journalists in Dubai, Blair said combating extremism and the violence it foments was the greatest challenge of the 21st century. He said the lesson he had drawn from... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]] |
