Before resting its recent case against Mohammed Momin Khawaja under Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act, the prosecution presented Momin’s former fiancée, Zeba Khan, as the final witness via a video link from Dubai. Ms. Khan reportedly stated in her testimony: “You will not meet a young Muslim man in the world who is not angry about something. Anyone who watches the news, if he wasn’t mad then, a) there’s something wrong with him, or b) he’s ignorant.” Obviously, not all angry young Muslim men are engaging in violence — nor, of course, are all Muslims terrorists. But many terrorists are found to be Muslims. Ms. Khan’s remark purports to explain the linkage. It is perhaps no coincidence that Mr. Khawaja has Pakistani roots. In recent years, Pakistan has become a haven for al-Qaeda terrorists. For longer than that, jihadis have recruited Pakistani boys and men to fight in Kashmir and Afghanistan. These brainwashed men may be volunteers headed out to fight infidel “invaders” and “occupiers” of Mu...

Iddybud sent me this video from her friend, Tom Watson. It's powerful and a MUST SEE: Says it all: a WOMAN is still scarier to our society than an Islamofascist sympathizer who lies as casually as he breathes. Yes - WOMEN are still the underclass. WOMEN are still to be maligned, stepped on, hated and brutalized - physically, emotionally & verbally. WOMEN are objects. WOMEN are nothing. I am DISGUSTED. This election has taught me things about my fellow Americans that I suspected but now can not ignore. Vile. Watch this video and pass it on! If you are on an aggregator - CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO.

ORAL SEX AND CANCER Confession: I haven't engaged in sex in over 10 years. Full monty, oral or anything else. I haven't been truly intimate with anyone in longer than that. And, I have no intention of changing my born again virginity. But I have straight men friends who (for some reason I will never understand) confide in me and tell me how much they love giving oral sex to... um... WHOever their girl of the next-five minutes is. So this is for them. I warned three of them about this months ago and they told me I was nuts and a prude. O.K. guys, so don't listen to me... HPV Causing More Oral Cancer in Men The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women is poised to become one of the leading causes of oral cancer in men, according to a new study. The HPV virus now causes as many cancers of the upper throat as tobacco and alcohol, probably due both to an increase in oral sex and the decline in smoking, researchers say. The only available vaccine agains...

"Gee, I Wonder Why Women Get Raped?" Even as we condemn woman abuse & rape - we need to look more at our own behavior! Here's a thought provoking article on the objectification and subtle sexualization of men & women. This article was too good to pass up - Barbara by Leslie Goldman Anyone who doesn't live under a rock understands that companies, from perfumers to maternity apparel, use sex to sell their products. This we know and, for the majority of Americans, it's accepted. Not many of us write letters to the heads of television channels or editors-in-chief of magazines, decrying the oppression of women. Surely some do, but for rest, we generally just flip the page or change the channel when an ad fetishizing a faceless woman or showing her as nothing more than a vagina crosses our path. Sometimes, we don't even realize an ad is spewing subtle bursts of racism...or bat an eyelash when an anti-gay message is shoved down our throats (remember this Supe...

WOMEN REFUSE? Why do I have a feeling this is a skewed poll. Only 69 aguhnot? What about the ones who are silenced? Hushed up, shamed or verbally, emotionally, financially and or physical threatened? Sorry - my b.s. radar is going off on this one. Poll: More women refuse divorce than men Rabbinical Court combats claims that thousands of Jewish women are refused divorce; poll reveals there are only 69 agunot currently living in Israel Neta Sela More Jewish women refuse to give divorce then men, a poll released by the rabbinical courts' management titled: "Why is the couple not yet divorced?" revealed on Tuesday. According to the poll, there are 190 Jewish men refused divorce in Israel, which make up 20 percent of the open divorce files; as opposed to 180 women who are refused divorce, and constitute 19 percent of the open files. There are currently 942 open divorce files in Israel's rabbinical courts, and the survey was conducted among a sample of 346 of these files, ...

MARS & VENUS DUKE IT OUT AT THE WATERCOOLER Surprise, surprise - men's anger is more valid in the workplace than women's. Women are seen as "out of control." This is news? I want to be clear that I do NOT HATE men. I was very close to my father, of blessed memory - who I believe was an abused man. I also have a great relationship with my brother and have a number of men friends (just friends... no more relationships for me ). A couple are abused men - the woman in their lives behavior is just as appalling to me. Human beings should treat each other with respect and empathy. Unfortunately its a ME-ME World. That said, working with mostly abused women sometimes I think I am listening to a tape on a loop. The guy invariably has some excuse for his behavior. CLICK HERE For some good ones. And if you don't buy it, they get furious with you. You're a bitch, a man-hater, a lesbian and other words I won't give bandwith too. But let the woman get ang...

WOMEN DEMAND RUNNING OF THE COWS! Running of the cows? Women demand cow runs to balance Spain’s San Fermin bull festival MADRID - A group of women wants equality in Pamplona’s San Fermin bull running festival — they are demanding cow runs. “If the boys run ahead of the bulls, we (women) have to run with the cows. It’s pure logic,” said a tongue-in-cheek petition on a Spanish student Web site, www.estudiln.net . The Web site said the initiative had received dozens of messages of support in recent days. The anonymous group asked people to pass along the “Cows Want to Run” message to friends through their cell phones. “Cows, like bulls have four legs too, and a natural instinct to run,” the statement said. No one at the Web site or at Pamplona town hall was immediately available for comment Tuesday. The highlight of the San Fermin festival, which began June 29 and ends Saturday, are the 8 a.m. runs in which people test their mettle, stamina and daring by racing with six bulls along a 875-...
