It sounds nice, but I can't be bothered to make it. I'm sure they sell it somewhere, tho.

I'm afraid that might be outside the Islamic Courts' capacity. I also don't need to be desperate to want to make Zu mine. He is a wise and accomplished man. And he rides a motorbike.

When the Civil War ends, huh? Erm...dunno. Maybe set up an independent good-governance think-tank which carries out policy, performance and transparency audits every five-to-ten years. Something which will kill or corrupt me quickly anyway...

LoL...I suppose there are always preferences. When you hear abused and enslaved, don't imagine they would look the part. They might not be imprisoned by bars and locks, but by the prospect of retribution, for themselves or their families back home. A prison of fear is much more effective than one made of bricks and mortar.

Originally posted by Paragon: I don't know, but after getting to know the disputes that occur between Somali husbands and wives, it is not difficult that either parent could be driven to such inhumane and out of character acts. Are you serious? I can't see a sane parent doing anything this atrocious, whatever marital trouble they may be experiencing. Only a mentally ill individual would kill his own children. Ilaahay ha u naxariisto. Alisomali, I know what you mean. There are too many 'walking wounded' people out there.

Originally posted by sheherazade: I don't know that the women at such establishments are enslaved or abused. They're high end whores and would be taken care of- whore in a bad state, City boy won't pay up. He has standards, you see. I would define forced prostitution as abuse. And you are assuming City boy would care whether his prostitute is being held against her will or a career girl. I don't remember many details, but the raid was part of the Met's Operation Pentameter, which targets organised criminal gangs trading in sex slavery.

Straw 'opposes all Muslim veils' Friday, 6 October 2006, 09:51 GMT 10:51 UK BBC News Cabinet Minister Jack Straw has said he would prefer Muslim women not to wear veils at all. The Commons leader said he did not want to be "prescriptive" but he believed that covering people's faces could make community relations more difficult. Mr Straw has said he asks Muslim women at his Blackburn constituency surgeries if they would mind removing veils. Some Muslim women called his remarks insulting, but other Muslims said they understood his concerns. Meeting strangers Mr Straw is Labour MP for Blackburn, where about 30% of residents are Muslim. He sparked controversy when he told his local paper he asked female constituents visiting his surgery if they would uncover their faces - something they had all so far agreed to do. Asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme if he would rather the veils be discarded completely, Mr Straw replied: "Yes. It needs to be made clear I am not talking about being prescriptive but with all the caveats, yes, I would rather." Mr Straw explained the impact he thought veils could have in a society where watching facial expressions was important for contact between different people. "Communities are bound together partly by informal chance relations between strangers - people being able to acknowledge each other in the street or being able pass the time of day," he said. "That's made more difficult if people are wearing a veil. That's just a fact of life. "I understand the concerns but I hope, however, there can be a mature debate about this. "I come to this out of a profound commitment to equal rights for Muslim communities and an equal concern about adverse development about parallel communities." 'Separateness' fears Mr Straw, seen as a potential candidate for Labour's deputy leadership, stressed it was a choice for women and he was making a request and not a demand. "What I've been struck by when I've been talking to some of the ladies concerned is that they had not, I think, been fully aware of the potential in terms of community relations," he said. "I mean, they'd thought of it just as a statement for themselves, in some cases they regard themselves as very religious - and I respect that - but as I say, I just wanted to put this issue on the table." He said he was worried the "implications of separateness" and the development of "parallel communities". Downing Street said Mr Straw was expressing a private opinion and Tony Blair thought it was reasonable to do so. 'Dangerous doctrine' Mr Straw's comments have provoked a mixed response from Muslim groups. The Islamic Human Rights Commission labelled the article "astonishing" and accused Mr Straw of discrimination. The Protect-Hijab organisation said the "appalling" comments showed "a deep lack of understanding". But Dr Daud Abdullah, of the Muslim Council of Britain, said he could understand Mr Straw's discomfort adding that women could choose to remove the veil. Conservative policy director Oliver Letwin said it would be "dangerous doctrine" to tell people how to dress. "If a person is making a statement about how they want to dress, I think it's pretty important we live in a country where you're allowed to do that," he said. And Liberal Democrat president Simon Hughes accused Mr Straw of being insensitive. "The experience of visiting their MP is difficult enough for many people without having to consider a dress code," said Mr Hughes. Muslim Labour MP Shahid Malik applauded Mr Straw for being honest and said he was entitled to make his request as long as he respected the decision of people who refused the request. Mr Malik said the remarks came on the trail of other media stories about Muslims and he appealed for calm. "The problem is not necessarily what Jack is saying but the climate in which he's saying it," he said. Source Link

Anyone can be exploited. Sheh, I suppose Soho would be the one place you could expect to find brothels, but I'm sure there are more in 'The City'. Do you by any chance remember a police raid on a three-storey townhouse in Hyde Park some months ago? It was a whorehouse and several young girls were rescued. The clientele were all well-heeled city businessmen. Guess how much the rent was? £6000pw. And this wasn't the only brothel the pimping tenant was running. Enslaving and abusing women has never been more profitable.

Akhas.

LoL @ Norf. Are u gettting paid by the UAE Tourism board? Impressive images.

Soor Or sareen? I remember ppl used to eat sareen for suhr back home, but soor? If I wake up for Suhr, I usually have porridge. LoL @ Massa. Thanks!

Sure Switzerland is competitive. The state is built on capital flight. Sitting on many nations' assets, so to speak.

^ Hi Zii, yeah, some dhuuni fiend finished the last of the food. Sorry. Sheh, I remember last year's thread. I also remember your 'delivering food to all the neighbours while under the influence of Flu' threads in previous Ramadans. I suppose inspiration is a bit lacking this month. Maybe it's the length of the day? So, what's for iftar today and who's cooking?

Such a drama queen. :rolleyes:

Che, you are right. Instead of ajar, I may be increasing my danbi quota. Not a good thought. I suppose that's why they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Lemme go edit out all the yummy food, so your tummies can stop grumbling.

Serenity, did I not tell you? YOU are NOT invited. And FYI, all the dishes are made from fresh ingredients and spices. Yes, even the custard!

LoL @ Libaax. Eager beavers dheh! That's what I like to hear. Fine, they can come down to my house. It's right behind Brixton Tube station. Che, what are you scoffing at? What's wrong with virtual ajar, huh? It's the thought that counts.

^^ Right here of course. What's the matter wiv you?
