Islam also says that, if you bring someone into your house, you have to protect them from harm. One of it's central tenets(one of the Pillars) is charity. During the Middle ages, the Middle East under Islam was one of the safest places in the world to live in if you were Jewish, much more so than in Europe.
So, because Christians in Europe used to be violent to other religions you are saying its OK for the Muslims to do it now.
During the Crusades Muslims allowed Christians and Jews to practice their religions freely, paying only a small tax, while Christian crusaders generally enforced a convert or die approach.
Tell the whole truth. This payment was seen as acceptance of subjugation, and If someone had agreed to pay jizya, leaving Muslim territory for non-Muslim land was punishable by enslavement if they were ever captured. Also at times it was a heavy rather than light imposition. In addition to this Non Muslims were not allowed to practice their faith in the open, display religious symbols, or build or repair places of worship. They would also not be allowed to testify against Muslims, which is why today so many non-Muslim women raped by muslims have it thrown out as "no case to answer".
And for the record, the Old Testament of the Bible also condones and recommends killing to spread the religion, or even just to take land that you want, and it's ok as long as they don't believe.
And I would be as opposed to Christians or Jews doing this as I am to Muslims doing it. The fact is that they don't any more, whereas Muslims do,
There will never be a large market for electric cars until the infrastructure has been upgraded accordingly. Where I have lived (Texas, Michigan), there are no charging stations. You can't expect people to buy the car if the infrastructure doesn't support the car.
True, at the moment it is a niche market. If you live close enough to work and a store to commute on a single charge, and have a second vehicle in the household for longer trips it makes sense. I think that this niche is a lot bigger than the current market - electric vehicles are still much more expensive than equivalent compact cars.
Note that their interpretation of "Blasphemy" is "Critical of Islam". From TFA:
We would go to the UN and OIC and get a law passed to stop anti-Islam activities, including blasphemy, for-ever,
So burning bibles will be fine, as will be the destroying artefacts of other faiths. Of course it will not interfere with their right to kill anyone who converts from Islam (apostasy has the death penalty in Pakistan and many other Muslim countries, or allow non-Muslims to worship in the open. I suggest that the UN ought to think about preventing the death penalty for changing religion rather than make it illegal to say "Muhammad was violent".
If you pass this bill don't fall into the same trap as the UK. Only allow degrees accredited by Universities with a proven academic record, and not any "overseas branches". Even reputable Universities can be tempted by overseas operations, and it is much harder to deal with after the event after the event.
I realised that it might not be obvious what I'm talking about. Some "low end" educational establishments just become a means to buy a visa rather than teaching the students to any reasonable degree.
With everyone willingly giving up everything to go into walled gardens, and the obvious superiority of native code applications*, is HTML5 a dead end?
Discuss! (ha)
* Not saying that pretty much all apps on smartphones I've used aren't buggy, featureless, poorly designed piece of shit--they are--so much so. And I love the openness of using web sites and never having to need to update my software. I love it. I'm just saying they have the *potential*.
Many "native walled app" are wrappers around html5. If you want something to run cross platform, and don't have any taxing performance requirements, it is an easy way to go.

Um, no. This is how these things are supposed to fail.
I don't know why this is modded down - its absolutely correct. Nuclear reactors are designed to be "fail safe". If a pump breaks, the system shuts down. There are probably backup pumps in case the shutdown fails too, etc.
How did Libre/OpenOffice win? Microsoft Office is still the most widely used, and best, office suite. Hell, even Apple's office apps are better than Libre/OpenOffice.
I meant out of the closed and open branches of the fork. not that would be the best in the world.
time to fork the project. Whenever this has happened the opens source fork wins (Mambo vs Joomla, LibraOffice vs OpenOffice - which then went open itself, etc.)
I hope that a winning bar is taken by a soldier to the front-line in Afghanistan. I'd love to see Nestle track them down and deliver the cheque within 24 hours!
Gibralta is a region just north of Africa that is under British rule and all the inhabitants are perfectly happy with this state of affairs
While true it is a very odd description for a parliamentary off Spain. Yes Spain is "a region just north of Africa", and the inhalants are happy being a British territory. Its odd not to mention that Spain are not very happy with "the rock" being under British rule.
Damned spell check.. that's "Promontory off Spain" though Peninsula may have been better

against "non-practicing entities". Let's say... if you obviously don't understand that patent you hold, the patent is empty and void?
You hit the normal problem of treating a company as a person. Does "you" refer to everyone in the company, the CEO, the research department, paid subcontractors, or the office cleaner?
The first patent seems to be describing duplicate elimination by hash code (i.e. a Hash Map) when applied to distributed databases (surely as obvious as all the old attempts to add "over wifi" to everything). The second seems to refer to the same thing but retrieving a unique access control along with the data.

You can't legislate respect.
They don't want to do that, they want to legislate against criticism.

Mother nature is a cold hearted bitch who has killed 99% of all species that have ever existed.
And one day she will kill me, but I still love her
Please, will the sensible and non-crazy muslims please stand up already and disown these lunatics?
But not to protest would be blasphemy, you could be convicted for it. Hell, if this law takes affect we might all have to do a Muzzie and riot or risk prosecution.

The question is whether or not it's "The biggest moon rock ever" or "The biggest moon rock ever to be auctioned"
No, to see "The biggest moon rock ever" look up into the sky!
Um, no. This is how these things are supposed to fail.

I have just tried startpage and it is very good. It seems to be run by ixquick, which seems good too
Now all they need is a really big shark.
