Malaysian model Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno who was sentenced to a fine and 6 strokes of the cane under Syariah law for drinking alcohol in public is all set to go through the caning after the end of Ramadan. Apparently feeling the stress of having too many meetings and various advices from individuals, politicians, government organisations and [...] So Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, the former journalist convicted in Sudan for wearing “indecent” clothing (a pair of trousers) has been freed from prison. She was orginally faced with caning (and indeed most of the women caught for the same offense at the same time and place as Lubna Hussein had already been dealt with by caning). [...] The same Islamic Court presided by the same judge that sentenced Malaysian model Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno in July to a fine and six strokes of the cane for drinking alcohol has just convicted odd-job worker Nazarudin Kamaruddin to six strokes of the cane and one year’s imprisonment for drinking “samsu”, a cheap local liquor, at [...] Indonesia is again in the news. This time it involves Aceh, best known as the worst hit area during the 2004 tsunami that hit Indonesia. In a couple more weeks, the Aceh Party (made up of former separatist fighters from the Free Aceh Movement) will take power in the new provincial assembly.

But exactly how is a woman to be caned under Syariah law? Prosecutor Saiful Idham Sahimi said that [...] I wonder how many of us are aware how close Britain came to suffering terrorist attacks on a scale equal to or exceeding that of America’s own 9/11 terrorist attacks? Recently 8 British Muslims were charged in court (in a costly retrial) and now we know details of that thwarted acts of terrorism. In details gleaned [...] Eight years ago, on this date, America suffered its biggest terrorist attacks. On September 11, 2001 nineteen Islamic terrorists hijacked 4 commercial airplanes and turned them into guided missiles as they zeroed in on the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan in New York and elsewhere. These planes had just taken off from various New York [...] The recent release of Lockerbie bomber, Libyan Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, on compassionate grounds is getting more interesting.
