The announcement of the arrest of an Israeli man, Ilan Grapel, on charges of spying in Egypt has been met with skepticism in some quarters, especially as accounts emerge of a man who, if he were a spy, could only be described as "bumbling".

According to a Reuters report, Grapel was posting openly on his Facebook page about his presence and activities in Egypt – hardly the remit of a super spy.

Nagorno-Karabakh War: Muslims Ethnically Cleansing Christians

Nagorno-Karabakh War: One More Case of Muslims Ethnically Cleansing Christians

It's the same old conflict, just dressed-up with different names.  The Armenians are Christians (same people that the Turkish Muslims slaughtered during WWI), the Azerbijanis are Shia Muslims and the Kurds are Sunni Muslims.  Roughly 35% of the population of Iran is Azeri and Iran is the real Islamo-militant force in the region..

 On February 22, 1988, the first direct confrontation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict occurred as a large group of Muslims marched from Agdam against the Christian populated town of Askeran, "wreaking destruction en route." The confrontation between the Muslims and the police near Askeran degenerated into the Askeran clash, which left two Muslims dead, one of them reportedly killed by an Muslim police officer, as well as 50 Christian villagers, and an unknown number of Muslims and police, injured.


Large numbers of Christian and Muslim refugees left as violence began against the minority populations of the respective countries.

Manal Al-Sharif

 

Today, in the twenty first century era, one can assume that the world is more civilized and advanced than ever before. However, such assumption apparently does not apply when living under strict Islamic Sharia Law as in Saudi Arabia. Our dilemma has to do with a Saudi woman, Manal Al-Sharif, who allegedly posted a video of herself, on face book and Youtube, driving a car in Khubar, Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately for her, such boldness caused her to get arrested and was detained in jail by Saudi authorities. Her crime was; driving without a license.
