The information that you can get from news.google.com, can be fit into no more than 5 kilobytes a day. An example (for which I&#8217;ll write more below) &#8211; an american from Philadelphia, a contractor in Iraq, named Nick Bond, was beheaded. His body was found by american forces, and later a videotape with his beheading by Aby Musad Al Zarqawi (according to some pro-taliban site) was received. It was done as an answer to the torturing of Iraq prisoners by the american forces.<\/p>\n<p>For this information there are 981 articles. If you read them all, you could probably add one or two more sentences to those.<\/p>\n<p>But you cannot just deny that this action, timed with the leakage of the pictures taken in that jail is a really good move of the terrorists, to attract attention. The timing is perfect, the action itself corresponds to the reason (it&#8217;s not that outrageous, after all), and the noise level is good. As much as I hate fanatics, I can&#8217;t just not give them credit, they did this one very well.<\/p>\n<p>But that won&#8217;t stop me from hating fanatical terrorists. After seeing what Plamen Tonev wrote in his blog about the movies &#8216;Osama&#8217;, I got it from him and watched it &#8211; and with the some external information I have, I can tell that the film is true, but it&#8217;s something really different to see it played by real actors, instead if reading it. I wanted to consult my Quarran(sp?), but I couldn&#8217;t find it &#8211; I&#8217;ve given it to somebody, and I can&#8217;t remember to whom (but if he\/she is reading this blog, please remember and return it to me :) ). There were some things I wanted to recheck.<br \/>\nI wonder, if it&#8217;s possible to find a way to separate the religion\/church and the state everywhere. That would be a good beginning. <\/p>\n<p>Some books that came to my mind, that talk about this problem: &#8220;Whirlwind&#8221; by James Clavel, &#8220;Satanic verses&#8221; by Salaman Rushdi, &#8220;Julian&#8221; by Gore Vidal, &#8220;Dune&#8221; and the &#8220;Messiah of Dune&#8221; by Frank Herbert&#8230; Too bad that the &#8220;Limited contingent&#8221; by Gromov doesn&#8217;t include information on the afghanistan people &#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think that reading news sites is insulting to every thinking person.
