Riz Khan - Twin Success - 07 July 08 - Part 1

2008-07-13T08:40:15Z

Becoming a bestseller author is the dream of every author and one that often involves a lot of rejection and frustration.

That was the case for two wrtiters who spent six years reworking the piece they had crafted together before it hit the bookshelves and became an international bestseller.

By then the authors, who also happen to be twins were just 17 years old putting them among the youngest bestsellers ever.

Suresh and Jyoti Guptara originally finished their fantasy novel the Conspiracy of Calaspia at the tender age of 11 but spent six years rewriting and touting their work around.

John McCain: Town Hall Meeting 05/02/08

2008-06-30T23:57:34Z

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Denver, CO 05/02/08

TRANSCRIPT:
INTERVIEWER: ". . . What did you think of the event?"

ALISSA GARNER: "I really liked what I heard."

INTERVIEWER: "Really? Is there anything in particular? Do you like his health care plan?"

GARNER: "Umm, I don't know all the details but it's a start."

INTERVIEWER: "It's a start? Do you think it's a smart idea to move away from an employer based health care system."

GARNER: "Yes."

INTERVIEWER: "You do? Why do you think so?"

GARNER: "Well I think people shouldn't lose their health care just because they have changed jobs or lost their job."

INTERVIEWER: "Do you think though a $5000 tax credit per family or $2500 per individual will be enough to cover the insurance costs?"

GARNER: "Well, no it probably won't be."

INTERVIEWER: "Right. So"

GARNER: "But it might. Well, it depends obviously on the family, on preexisting conditions."

John McCain: Town Hall Meeting 05/02/08

2008-06-30T23:57:32Z

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Denver, CO 05/02/08

TRANSCRIPT:
INTERVIEWER: "Hi Winnie, my name's Greg."

WINNIE FINELLI: "Hi Greg."

INTERVIEWER: "What did you think of the event?"

FINELLI: "I thought it was great."

INTERVIEWER: "What'd you like the most about it?"

FINELLI: "Well, I um I really like McCain because my top priority is national defense. But I was really impressed with the way he was able to relate to the crowd. His sense of humor was absolutely fantastic."

INTERVIEWER: "Yeah, he's a funny guy."

FINELLI: "I hadn't noticed that before."

INTERVIEWER: "What'd you think about his health care plan?"

FINELLI: "I've gotta tell you, I've got some partial feelings about health care and I agree with anything that says you can control your own. Frankly . . . I have a really wonderful healthcare plan and I'm really worried when I have to go on Medicare that I won't get as good health care as I do now . . . "

INTERVIEWER: "One more question, how do you feel about his Federal Gas Tax Holiday this summer?"

FINELLI: "You know, I think it's uhh, it's a campaign stunt. I mean really. Like I said, I love McCain. And it's a great and it will really help a lot of people, my goodness. I mean my son, he travels three hours a day to work and so man he'll love it. I mean does it really, I mean it's not a lot of money. So I think it makes people feel better."

INTERVIEWER: "So do you think, so when you say it's just a 'campaign', you think it's just because it's an election season and it's just what people want to hear?"

FINELLI: "Oh yeah, I do. It's what people want to hear."

[...]

INTERVIEWER: "Do you think it's at all a contradiction that he says he wants to get off, become energy independent, he ended on that note that it's important to achieve energy independence so we're not dependent on the Middle East for foreign oil. Do you think that's at all a contradiction that the Federal Gas Tax Holiday doesn't help that at all, it just encourages us to consume more oil because it brings down the cost?"

FINELLI: "I think he really does want to do whatever we can to fix the oil problem but I'm not confident that'll happen in my lifetime. But, you know. I still think it's just something that makes people feel happy right now . . . it's not a long term solution by any means [laughs]."

FOX NEWS ATTACKS THE OBAMAS & INADEQUATE BLACK PEOPLE

2008-07-09T16:20:42Z

Over the course of the past several months and since Barack Obama and his pastor have hit the mainstream media, race has been at the forefront of hot topics within the American political arena. Following are various clips from conservative media outlets commenting on race, Barack and Michelle Obama, and offering often times skewed and ill perceived commentary on issues both within and outside of the black community. Patriotism is not a characteristic of convenience, it must be present at greatest moments of triumph for a nation but must also be the root for unarmed critique and analysis of the actions of one's own country. America is a great nation but we have committed acts that are notable alongside some of the greatest atrocities in world history. Truth cannnot be serial, constantly waiting for another perceived truth to come along and take its place. Truth can exist in multiple instances. The greatness of this nation along with the moral abomination of its acts in regard to human life.

Sam Harris' FRIEND FRIDAY #29/B Murad Aldin Amayreh on Islam

2008-07-26T02:24:19Z

► SamHarris.com

PART TWO of THREE

PART ONE: youtube.com

* Please click "watch in high quality" under the video.

Sam continues his discussion with TV and Film Director and Producer, Murad Aldin Amayreh. In part one, they started the subject of "72 Virgins" and it's symbolism to the Islam faith.

Many of Murad's films focus on the subject of Islam and being Muslim, so we decided to have an in depth conversation to better understand what it is to be Muslim in America. We hope that you will take some time to view some of his work on his YouTube channel at: youtube.com

In Islam, the ḥūr or ḥūrīyah (Arabic: حورية‎) are described as "(splendid) companions of equal age (well-matched)", "lovely eyed", of "modest gaze", "voluptuous", "pure beings" or "companions pure" of paradise, denoting humans and jinn who enter paradise after being recreated anew in the hereafter. There are graphical descriptions of physical pleasures in heaven. Islam also has a strong mystical tradition which places these heavenly delights in the context of the ecstatic awareness of God.

The houri have variously been described as being "chaste females", "restraining their glances", "modest gaze", "wide and beautiful/lovely eyes", "untouched / with hymen unbroken by sexual intercourse", "like pearls", "virgins", "voluptuous/full-breasted", "with large, round breasts which are not inclined to hang", "companions of equal age", "non-menstruating/urinating/defecating and childfree", "60 cubits [27.5 meters] tall", "7 cubits [3.2 meters] in width", "transparent to the marrow of their bones", "eternally young", "hairless except the eye brows and the head", "pure", "beautiful", "white", "splendid" and much more besides.

A Muslim (Arabic: مسلم‎) is an adherent of the religion of Islam. The feminine form of 'Muslim' is Muslimah (Arabic: مسلمة‎). Literally, the word means "one who submits to God". The word "Muslim" is the participle of the same verb of which "Islam" is the infinitive. Muslims believe that there is only one God, translated in Arabic as Allah. Muslims believe that Islam existed long before Muhammad and that the religion had evolved with time from the time of Adam till the time of Muhammad, and was completed with the revelation of verse 3 of Surah Al-Maeda"

"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."

The Qur'an describes many Biblical prophets and messengers as Muslim: Adam, Noah (Arabic: Nuh), Moses (Arabic: Musa) and Jesus (Arabic: Isa) and his apostles. The Qur'an states that these men were Muslims because they submitted to God, preached his message and upheld his values. Thus, in Surah 3:52 of the Qur'an, Jesus' disciples tell Jesus: "do thou bear witness that we are Muslims". Muslims pray five times a day; these five prayers are known as Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha. There is also a special Friday prayer called Jumu'ah.

Most Muslims accept as a Muslim anyone who has publicly pronounced the Shahadah, which states, "There is none worthy of worship except God, and Muhammad is His Messenger." Currently, there are an estimated 1.4 billion Muslims, making it the second largest religion in the world.

Russert Asks McClellan Why He Didn't Challenge Bush

2008-07-26T02:29:47Z

Tim Russert must be the dumbest man in media - and he must have the dumbest producers on TV. In an amazingly absurd exchange, Tim Russert asked Scott McClellan why McClellan didn't challenge Bush on the very same question Russert should have challenged Bush. Russert has always been overrated - but this exchange proves beyond a doubt that Russert is a buffoon. What's sad is that Russert is too stupid to know he's stupid - or that he was part of the propaganda machine that sent this nation to war.
