Yadegary And Religious Freedom In Iran 
I think the Refugee Appeals Authority (RAA) displays a degree of naivety in the decision that they have made concerning the Iranian refugee, who arrived in New Zealand in 1993, and has since converted from Islam to Christianity and is now a practising Catholic (appeal decision 74704). I believe that, in cases of this kind, the RSAA needs to give much greater weight to human rights.

(King Of Kale/13430) - I have today off work, but I always have Tuesdays off. Heh.

I have today off work, but I always have Tuesdays off.  Heh.  It varies from place to place, but a lot of school districts and such have certain inservice days, breaks between semesters/trimesters, and such.  In many cases, they do try to line them up with some holiday, if there is one conveniently close, especially if they have people who celebrate said holiday in the schools.  Rarely do they do it when there isn't some other reason for the break though, unless there are enough students who would miss school as a result that it would become an issue.

That usually occurs if you are bitten, but the threat is there nonetheless.  I just think that people who let dogs lick their faces are quite ignorant of the dangers.  I'm sure people can enjoy their pets without having to be licked all over.  It's their call, but I wouldn't do it.  I'd kiss someone with AIDS before I'd kiss a dog. lol [Islam Eid Mubarak> msg #13405 (18 remaining)] Read cmd ->   My dad's a butcher and I used to eat cookies for "coffee break" after helping him butcher, and I never washed my hands.  I laugh at bacteria, they worship me.  This includes beef, pork, chicken.  My dog licking my face has yet to get me sick.  Although the common cold kicks my ass every year, but that comes from people. :)

If either "Dr. Finstimer" or "Kosinos" exist, their names have been mangled beyond all recognition. The only hits you will get with Google are Muslim sites trying to rationalize the religious issues with dogs.

I don't know why you see it in such a negative way, Jed.  Dr. Qaradawi is a native Arabic speaker and that is a translation.  "Lovers of the West" could also mean, "People who appreciate the West" or "People who like the ways of the West".  There was no condemnation made.  It's not necessarily negative as there are many good things from the West.  Either way, I don't see how that reduces Dr. Finstimer's scientific argument in any way, shape or form.

I answered a specific question from King of Kale, namely, "Do you have any evidence of people without inhibitted [sic] immune systems dying from dog saliva?" and I answered it.

Time to Profile Airline Passengers?
[NY Sun title: “Calls for Racial Profiling Increase After London Plot”] The debate over profiling airline passengers revived after the thwarted Islamist plot to bomb 10 airplanes in London on Aug. 10. The sad fact is, through inertia, denial, cowardice, and political correctness, Western airport security services with the notable exception of Israel’s search primarily for the implements of terrorism, while largely ignoring passengers.

Nike and 9/11
[NY Sun title: “How Terrorism Has Failed The Cause of Radical Islam”] Five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, it is clear how terrorism has set back the cause of radical Islam. The horrors of 9/11 alarmed Americans and fouled the quiet but deadly efforts of lawful Islamists working to subvert the country from within. They no longer can replicate their pre-9/11 successes. This fits an ironic pattern whereby terrorism usually (but not always) obstructs the advance of radical Islam.
