Muslim woman are not shake hand with men.There are so many people have the same culture and they do not shake hand such as Buddhism Chinese only show respect by shake head or Hindu Indian only put hand together and put head down the similar mentality and culture. If you do not shake hand it keep you more healthy not to touch hand who may has germs, culturally is not correct to continue wrong idea of only show respect by touch other person hand, why men should touch woman's hand still hand is part of woman body is not permitted and not morally right to continue wrong west culture to touch hand or even men in West kiss face of woman in French culture mostly, Muslim does not like shake hand with woman as west do not like so many Muslim culture if you think about it is not correct or not necessary to shake hand this is my simple answer. Period. That is reason woman in Islam do not shake hand with men.

Muslim are kind with animal as l aw of Islam asked them to do. Muslim are not eat all animal for food Muslim are limited to few animal such as Beef, lamb, goat, chicken shrimp and fish with hard scale like Kosher fish. Muslim are not eat other animal such as pork, shark, congoro, rabit or tiger or dulphine , Or lobster are haram in Islam some call not haram it is Makroh mean it is better not to eat such as Rabit meat is Moakroh it is better not eat that. Muslim cleaning body is more difficult and need new equipment as industy are growing in middle east most adance home has varius equipment for cleaning body and flesh water to body.

GO TO CBC.Ca where all the Liberals converge. Dion's carbon tax is slowly disappearing from the headlines. The Liberals are now being sued for using the term "green shift." A Toronto firm claims that they own the rights to the logo!! Interesting. Notice how CBC minimized the lawsuit!

"Dion's Carbon Shock"
Greg Weston-toronto sun Tuesday june 24/08

as a result Dion's scheme would slap a Whopping Tax of $1.1 Billion just on those 5 power stations, Increasing the cost of operating them by a staggering 80% or more.

As the spokesman fr Ontario Power says, Someone would have to pay.

*my point of view as a small business operator i have already increased my pricing to offset my increased costs in recieving products(shipping & fuel surcharges). Add a Major increase in heating & hydro costs i will be either raising my products prices or face closing due to lack of business.

The war against terrorism has evolved into a war of ideas and propaganda, a struggle for hearts and minds fought on television and the Internet. On those fronts, al-Qaeda's voice has grown much more powerful in recent years. Taking advantage of new technology and mistakes by its adversaries, al-Qaeda's core leadership has built an increasingly prolific propaganda operation, enabling it to communicate constantly, securely and in numerous languages with loyalists and potential recruits worldwide.

The penetration of renewable energy into the marketplace has been small, held back principally by their higher cost relative to fossil energy.

Sally McNamara, Why NATO Must Win in Afghanistan: A Central Front in the War on Terrorism

This from The Netherlands. Seems Holland is getting heavier.... on account of Muslims.

The world will end in 2012 — or so say thousands in the Netherlands preparing for the apocalypse in four years, the Dutch-language newspaper de Volkskrant reported Tuesday.

The paper spoke to those who believe the 2012 date signals the impending end of civilization and are stocking up on emergency supplies, equipment and life rafts in case of flooding, United Press International reported.

While theories vary as to why 2012, in particular, is believed by some to represent the world's end, most say it is the end of the Mayan calendar. Some are optimistic about the apocalypse, saying they no longer want to live in the modern world.

"You know, maybe it's really not that bad that the Netherlands will be destroyed," Petra Faile told de Volkskrant. "I don't like it here anymore. Take immigration, for example. They keep letting people in. And then we have to build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse."

What would we do without experts?

Meanwhile, the Green Shaft Liberal Party has realized a startling fact re How To Win a Federal Majority Government in Canada: Walk softly and carry a Big Quebec Stick.

That's all, folks; it's all here:

"Dion's carbon shock
While Stephane Dion promises the Liberals' proposed $15-billion environmental tax would provide riches for the poor and tax cuts for all, he fails to mention consumers in most parts of the country would be in for some shocking electricity bills."

" ORDINARY FAMILIES

But like Ontario, ordinary Alberta families would be hit with soaring electrical bills to cover the environmental taxes on coal and oil-burning generating plants.

According to federal figures, seven electrical generation facilities in Alberta together produce almost 80% more greenhouse gas emissions than Ontario's worst five.

Were Dion's tax applied, Albertans would be stuck covering almost $1.8 billion on their monthly electricity bills.

By coincidence, the one province where electricity bills won't be touched by Dion's plan is the one with all that hydro power -- Quebec.

Imagine that."

Mark Bowden, Mr. Murdoch Goes to War

Newspapers are in a sad way in America. Readership continues to fall. Advertisers are deserting them for newer forms of media. Revenues are plummeting, as the costs of printing and distribution mount catastrophically. Faced with declining profit margins, investors are fleeing. Knight Ridder, once the largest newpaper chain in America, has gone out of business. Stalwart family owners such as Dow Jones’s Bancrofts are selling out. Reporters and editors are being bought out or laid off in droves, and not just at small regional papers. The once-fat Los Angeles Times has been dismantling itself. The New York Times and The Washington Post are trimming their staffs. In the eyes of many media experts, print journalism, that stubborn 15th-century technology, appears at long last to be on its deathbed.

Except that Murdoch is investing in it. We’ve come here to expand, he said. He has announced his intention for the remade [Wall Street] Journal not just to supplant The New York Times as the nation’s preeminent daily newspaper but to become the first truly global daily...

The G&M's version of "debate" on Dion's carbon income redistribution proposal:

Basically, only talk to the merits of the plan, IOW only say nice things, or shut up. Sorry, actual quote is "speak to the merits, or be silent."

Or from James Hansen of NASA - put climate change dissenters on trial for "misleading" public. IOW, daring to question Goracle's 20' rise in sea levels "argument":

Is that what passes for debate?

"Revenue Neutered
The life of Stéphane’s new dog
It’s a dog-eat-dog world

Hi everybody! I wanted to get into this blogging game because I hear that it’s a healthy way to show the world how much of a socially-adjusted individual you are!

That’s why I started this here blog… I need a place to vent about my latest problems. My name is “Revenue Neutred” or “Monsieur Neu-Neu” as my master likes to call me. I was adopted by Stéphane Dion in the past couple of months after his old dog Kyoto couldn’t learn new tricks. I’m not much of a performer myself, but Stéphane has high hopes for me and gave me my catchy name to help Canadians buy into his latest tax, or green shifting, revenue neutral plan to change everyone’s life.

I think that Stéphane wants to hold me up to show Canadians that while his plan might be a dog, it’s a good looking one that’s for sure. I’ve had my shots and so far there aren’t any fleas on me!

Though like any good dog sacrificing for the greater good, I now live up to my name. Stéphane took me to the vet last week but I think the good pet doctor misunderstood my master when he was talking about his tax shift plan. As Stéphane was trying to explain that his tax shifting plan was “revenue neutral”, something got lost along the way and now I’ve lost some of the spring in my step.

I suppose I shouldn’t feel too bad. Kyoto went through the same process while Stéphane was Canada’s environment minister."

Then: November 2006:

Citoyen Dion:
"Dion told the National Post's editorial board in November 2006 (just weeks before he was selected as Liberal leader), if he ever became prime minister he would not even consider a carbon tax, because "for Albertans it's a non-starter."

Actually, The Red-Green Shift would be an apropos name for Dion's greened up Carbon Tax.

Watch out for the shifty little fellas in the green caps, Steffi and Garth, his communicator, as they flit across the country chomping hot dogs.

Obamessiah has told his devotees that Alberta's oilsands should be shunned. This is over on nationalnewswatch.The usual climate change reasons are given. I suppose it is a better idea to buy from those freindlies in the ME.

Liz J,Dion the dainty doily, does not chomp on hotdogs. He prefers using utensils,unlike the great unwashed who pay his way.

That reminds me of Martin Crane's line directed at Frasier and Niles: "Do you realize what a couple of delicate doilies you are?"
