According to wikipedia: "At least 5,000 people died as an immediate result of the chemical attack and it is estimated that a further 7,000 people were injured or suffered long term illness"
The death count is over 30,000 according to Bush (it's the least he conceded), and the Lancet study put that figure over 100,000, and now over 400,000.
"Muslim" and "Muslimoon" are how the Quran refers to Muslims. "People of the Scripture" are known as "Ahl ul kitaab" in the Arabic (sometimes written "People of the Book" in some english interpretations), and are clearly defined as people of the Abrahamic religions and believe in the same God.
Spoken like someone who never even bothered to ask a Muslim. Is it my fault if CNN never invites Shaykh Hamza Yusuf or Imam Faisal Abdur Rauf on? I guess they assume Muslims opposing terrorism isn't newsworthy, and it isn't per se, because the vast, vast majority of Muslims condemn terrorism. Here's some links in English.
You were told this by misinformed Muslims. The word "infidel" is a Christian word and doesn't appear in the Quran. Jews and Christians (and arguably zoroastrians too) are referred to as "People of the Scripture" in the Quran, and as citizens, they are granted equal protection as Muslims under the laws. As fellow citizens, Muslims are supposed to risk their lives in to protect them, Muslim or not. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "Whoever kills a [Christian or Jewish citizen] will never even get to smell Paradise." Money from the government is actually supposed to finance the upkeep of churches and synagogues, as well as the mosques, because all 3 religions worship the same God.
The Quran says "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (2:256), and murder is a hellworthy sin.
I phoned the Israeli embassy in NY and asked how I can immigrate. If you're not Jewish, married to a Jewish person, or a convert to Judaism, you can't immigrate.
Of course, there's also many of the same problems over there as here, only compounded by the fact that its Palestine instead of Iraq.
Hard Drive encryption on the fly, and "Company administrators can set up a computer-wide master password as a safeguard in the event someone forgets his or her login password. This can be useful for computer or system administrators whose users either forget their passwords or in corporate situations where an employee is no longer with the company and the data left behind needs to be recovered."
Nobody's pointed out the similarity to Shockwave Rider? The book that not only predicted worms to proliferate the internet, but that some hacker would write a worm to erase the other worms.
Apple has a Sudden Motion Sensor that parks the drive heads whenever a fall is imminent. That, and it has the magsafe connector, so tripping over the laptop power cord doesn't yank the laptop to the ground (which cracked my screen).
Drinkypoo, I'm sorry your B&W had that error, but Apple cleaned themselves up. Look at how they replaced Macbooks with stains, or G4 cubes with cracks, or gave free drive restoration programs when an old iTunes installer formatted HDs. I think you can trust them 8 years later.
Oglethorpe: Get the iPod. He knows how to do it. Frylock: He's dead. Oglethorpe: Impossible! The iPod can only be killed by stabbing him in the heart with the ancient bone saber of Zumacalis! Emory: Or maybe his head and lungs too. Just stab him wherever. Oglethorpe: And the saber probably doesn't have to be bone. Emory: Yeah, just anything sharp lying around the house. Oglethorpe: You could poke him with a pillow and kill him.
The show has had John McCain on numerous times, as well as Ken Mehlman, and Ed Gillespie twice. Democratic shilling? Ha, they bash Dems on every issue, from immigration to video games.
DHS officer: Mr. 100%, I'm afraid we'll have to take you into custody. Our information extraction search on your blog concluded you are anti-American. Me: From my blog? Is this about my criticism of the Iraq war? DHS officer: Our results are classified, but please accompany us to GTMO for further "information extraction" to confirm the results of our investigation...
Ok, I know I'm taking a very cynical view here and that's pretty full of FUD, but why else does State security need this? Is this for them to monitor every chat room and blog?
Actually, female genital mutilation is pre-Islamic, and non-Islamic. African Christians and animists do it as well, and Muslim leaders have decried the practice. Wife beating isn't in the religion either, the worst allowed thing after all else fails is to slap her, and scholars say even with a fist is often too harsh.
Also, no Muslims, radical or not, have a "convert by the sword" mentality. Did you bother to learn anything about Islam in the last 5 years? Oh well, you made reference at the top of the post about Muslims "trading daughters for goats." (where? What country?)
Fascists are nationalist, Al Qaeda has no nation. Fascists are corrupt, they control media, they steal elections. All fascist governments have had common characteristics, what does Al Qaeda have in common?
MEForum is garbage, run by that controversial Muslim-hater Daniel Pipes, who honestly believes the only good Muslim is a former Muslim. He plasters his homepage link on every page on the site.
More to the point, prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, didn't rule in any fascist way at all. Heck, he even had Jews in his early governments and many helped fight on his side. The article is completely wrong, any Muslim scholar will tell you it's the opposite of 1400 years of scholarship; beheading isn't islamic, POWs were ordered to be treated fairly and not executed like the author claims, etc.
That's a strange statement, please qualify that. Does Apple only market to BA graduates and arts majors? Does it mandate you know iMovie before you can navigate the web browser? Does the machine lock up if it finds out you like Word more than iPhoto?

Well, Australia had a race riot against Arabs/Muslims last year. I'm happy to hear it's not all that bad, but still worrisome for any country.
Mac OS X has had filevault for years now...

Steve Jobs said that alll episodes would be released a day after broadcast on network TV. I'd blame Sci-Fi for being later than everyone else.

Name some of the features. FM playback? iPod has that. Games? Calendar and address book? iPod too.
3" whoop. Same resolutions, and I can already read the movie credits on my iPod. If it played my iTunes-bought music, then maybe.
Disappointing? New iTunes, new movies, new iPods, set-top box, and better song sharing, what disappointed you? No bluteooth earphones?
The Zune is 4:3 ratio, 320x240, same as the iPod screen, which displays widescreen just fine.

The iPod supports supports h.264, MPEG-4, MP3, AAC, WAV, and Apple Lossless
Zune supports h.264, MP3, AAC and WMA
Not mmuch "more" file types, and when did anyone like or use WMA?
