- France's
former Socialist leader hits at backers of globalization
(October 24, 2005)
- Lionel Jospin, France's most recent Socialist prime minister, has
denounced a "new caste" of financiers, industrialists, top
civil servants and privileged journalists for promoting globalization
at the expense of ordinary workers. In a new book, widely seen as a
manifesto for a possible presidential bid in 2007, Mr. Jospin
attacks this modern aristocracy for placing economic efficiency
above all other values. "This group urges other social
categories to make sacrifices in the name of global competition or a
balanced economy but does not accept that it has to make any effort
or give anything up itself and does not even accept that the
question applies to itself," he writes. "Economic
rationality is the response to everything. One cannot touch profits,
increase capital taxes or limit extravagant salaries without
discouraging initiative and paralyzing creative energies, without
provoking disinvestment or relocation of enterprises or without
driving away brains and talents." Mr. Jospin's attack adds to
the anti-globalization groundswell across the political spectrum in
France. Yesterday, Nicolas Sarkozy, the leading presidential
candidate from the right, also criticized the liberalizing trade
agenda of the European Commission, saying the EU must do more to
protect its own economic interests. more...
- 'Satanism
flourishing in Russia' (October 24, 2005)
- Satanism is running rampant throughout Russia, according to a
priest at a Murmansk church defaced by vandals. Earlier this month,
according to an Interfax report, the Church of the
Savior-on-the-Waters, built in memory of lost seamen was targeted
with Satanic symbols and animal blood. "We are alarmed with the
increased activity of the Satanists in the city," said Rev.
Andrei, the rector of the Orthodox church. "We think that they
perpetrated the sacrilege of the church." The priest said young
people with inverted crosses on their breasts were often observed in
the church. "Satanism is flourishing in our country and can be
seen not only in the painting of church buildings by young
people," said the priest. "For example, a cross has been
erected recently on the hill in Vidyaevo (a military settlement of
the North Fleet submariners), but was sacriliged the next day."
Authorities said investigations are proceeding, but that the lack of
witnesses will make prosecution difficult.
- Israeli
dig to spark Temple Mount violence? (October
24, 2005)
- A senior Al Aqsa leader whose group has been accused of
associations with Hamas told WorldNetDaily yesterday recent Israeli
digs near the Temple Mount and a plan to construct an underground
visitors center near the Western Wall are really Jewish designs to
destroy the mosque, potentially sparking deadly riots. The group,
which has previously been involved with Temple Mount violence, has
been sending buses the past few weeks to Israeli Arab neighborhoods
asking Muslims to "swarm" the Al Aqsa Mosque to protect it
from "Jewish attacks," WND has learned. "The truth is
these digs and plans are political in character and goal. It is part
of the Israeli occupation and of the Israeli big plan to hurt Al
Aqsa," Sheik Kamal Hatib, vice-chairman of the Islamic
Movement, told WND. "These diggings endanger the basis of the
mosque. The Israelis want and hope that these works will contribute
and hasten the destruction of the mosque. In that way they think
they will not be accused that they have directly destroyed Al
Aqsa." Hatib was responding to a new archeological site near
the Mount recently unveiled by Israel, and Israeli plans announced
last month to open an underground tourist center that will snake
around pathways under the Western Wall. Discoveries at the new site
include a ritual bath from the period of the second Jewish Temple,
destroyed in 70 AD, and a wall archaeologists say dates to the
first Jewish Temple, destroyed in 586 BC The findings were widely
reported by the media as strengthening Jewish ties to the Temple
Mount. more...
- Is
Osama the Mahdi? (October 23, 2005)
- Will the American Hiroshima occur during Ramadan, which ends Nov.
2? Islamic clerics point out that the signs in the heavens are
propitious for such an event. This year, Muslims will experience
solar and lunar eclipses during the holy month. These great heavenly
signs, according to Islamic visionary Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Sahib,
foretell the coming of the "Mahdi," the mighty warrior of
the Apocalypse, who will defeat the army of Yajuj wa-Majuj
("the infidel unbelievers"), led by the Dabbah or
"the Beast." He will lead the Muslims to great victory and
bring forth the Day of Islam, when all of creation falls before the
throne of Allah. Islamic tradition says that the Mahdi will be a
descendant of Muhammad through his daughter Fatima. He will have a
distinctive forehead, a prominent nose, and a black mole on his
face. He will arise from Arabia and will be called from a cave by
Allah to serve as the savior of all true believers. Osama bin Laden
has the high forehead, the prominent nose, and the black mole. He
hails from Arabia and received his calling from a cave in
Afghanistan. Bin Laden speaks of the president of the United States
as Dabbah, the beast he must slay, and of the American people as the
Yajuj wa-Majuj, the nation of Gog that he must destroy. more...

- Police
guard churches in Egypt after Muslim riot (October
23, 2005)
- Thousands of police manned barricades around Christian churches in
Egypt's second largest city Saturday, a day after Muslim rioters
attacked churches and shops, leaving four people dead in the
country's worst religious violence in five years. Egyptian anti-riot
vehicles and a wrecked car seen Saturday at the site where thousands
of Muslims rioted outside a Coptic Christian church in Alexandria.
(AP) Egypt's top Muslim and Christian leaders appealed for calm as
tensions simmered in Alexandria, where some 5,000 Muslim rioters
rampaged through two predominantly Christian neighborhoods. Clashes
with rubber bullet-firing police killed two rioters and two
policemen, police and hospital officials said Saturday. At least 90
people were injured. The violence followed a week of protests over
the distribution of a DVD of a play deemed offensive to Muslims. St.
George's Coptic Church, where the play was performed two years ago,
was one of the seven churches attacked Friday. The play, entitled I
Was Blind But Now I Can See, tells the story of a young Christian
who converts to Islam and becomes disillusioned. Islamic leaders
accused Copts of releasing the DVDs and demanded an apology. more...
- Evangelicals
slam Protestant calls to divest from Israel (October
22, 2005)
- Evangelical Christians yesterday criticized efforts by some
Christian groups to divest from companies associated with Israel,
saying they planned to counter with a campaign to create
partnerships between Israel and international businesses. Several
Protestant groups, including the Presbyterian Church (USA), have
looked into selling stock in companies that profit from Israeli
policy in the territories. Companies targeted by the Presbyterian
Church include Caterpillar Inc., ITT Industries Inc., Motorola Inc.,
and United Technologies Corp. The Presbyterians accused the firms of
selling products such as night vision equipment, wireless
communications and helicopters the Israeli military uses to hurt
Palestinians and bolster territorial control. The International
Christian Embassy, a Jerusalem-based Evangelical organization, said
it was launching a campaign against the divestment moves. The
Evangelical groups represented at a news conference yesterday did
not provide details about their plans to bring new investment to
Israel. President of the International Christian Chamber of
Commerce, Dale Neill, said his organization was looking to build a
permanent office in Jerusalem to become more involved in the Israeli
economy. "We have come to understand that commerce is the
lifeblood of any nation," Neill said. "One of the things
that needs to happen - and we're very actively working on ways to
enhance or enable that to happen - is it needs to be easier for
small investors... to get that money into the nation and the
economy." Neill said that while his organization was actively
seeking new companies to invest in Israel, he was unprepared to name
specific businesses that had agreed to participate in the
initiative. more...
- University
to ban Bibles (October
22, 2005)
- Edinburgh University in Scotland will begin banning Holy Bibles
from its student halls of residence due to concern they are the
source of discrimination against students of other faiths. The ban
was a response to student association protests as well as an agenda
to equally support all faiths, a university spokesman told the Times
of London. A Gideon Bible is traditionally placed in the room of all
new students, and there are currently about 2,000 bibles in the
Pollock Halls campus near Holyrood Park. Gideons International has
handed out 63 million Bibles worldwide in places such as hotels,
prisons and hospitals. Since the school has students from 120
countries and all different faith backgrounds, officials believe
that the distribution of Bibles could be offensive to some students.
Ruth Cameron, an advocate of the removal of Bibles from the campus,
and the student association president said, "The student
association strongly believes in the importance of ensuring that
students of all faiths feel at home in their university
accommodation," she said. She also stated that the removal of
Bibles is not about attacking Christianity but about
"respecting diversity." more...
- Professor:
Exterminate white people (October
22, 2005)
- A visiting professor at North Carolina State University says the
solution to the problems faced by many blacks is the extermination
of "white people off the face of the planet." Kamau Kambon,
who taught Africana Studies at the Raleigh school last spring, told
a panel at Howard University Law School Oct. 14 this action must be
taken "because white people want to kill us," the Carolina
Journal reported. Kambon, a Raleigh activist and bookstore owner,
was addressing a panel on "Hurricane Katrina Media
Coverage," broadcast on C-SPAN. Excerpts of the speech can be
heard here and the entire event is archived by C-SPAN. Kambon told
the audience white people "have retina scans, they have what
they call racial profiling, DNA banks, and they're monitoring our
people to try to prevent the one person from coming up with the one
idea. And the one idea is, how we are going to exterminate white
people, because that in my estimation is the only conclusion I have
come to. We have to exterminate white people off the face of the
planet to solve this problem." The Carolina Journal said
Kambon's remarks received slight applause in the room, to which he
responded, "I don't care whether you clap or not, but I'm
saying to you that we need to solve this problem because they are
going to kill us." more...
- Al
Aqsa leader: Jews have no right to Mount (October
22, 2005)
- Following is a WorldNetDaily exclusive interview with Sheik Kamal
Hatib, vice-chairman of the Islamic Movement, the Muslim group in
Israel most identified with Temple Mount militancy. The Movement,
which Israel says is associated with Hamas, campaigns for Islamic
control of Israeli holy sites, and has been calling the past few
weeks for Muslims to ascend the Mount en mass to protect it from
"Jewish attacks." more (conversation)...
