Standoffs remain after Mumbai attacks

November 27, 2008

According to police, at least 151 people were killed and over 300 wounded in yesterday's attacks in Mumbai, India. The attackers, who were reportedly armed with AK-47 assault rifles and hand grenades, have taken hostages at three locations.

It is still unclear how many gunmen there were, but police say that at least nine of them have been killed in fighting. CNN-IBN quoted a source as saying there may have been 26 gunmen.

Commandos with the Rapid Action Force have stormed the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower and Oberoi Trident hotels. Ten hostages have been reported freed at the Oberoi, but it is unclear how many remain. Fresh explosions were heard at the Taj Hotel, but an official said that the situation is "almost sorted out."

Unconfirmed reports suggest one of the attackers is in custody.

"People who were held up there, they have all been rescued. But there are guests in the rooms, we don't know how many," said police chief A.N. Roy to Reuters.

A Jewish centre in Mumbai was also targeted by the attackers.

NSG has announced that the Taj hotel is now clear and all terrorists are killed. One cell phone with a foreign SIM card was found outside Taj hotel, which belonged to one of the terrorists.

24 bodies were found in the Oberoi Trident just a few minutes ago taking the number of dead from 125 to 149 confirmed and rising.

There are also hostages at Nariman House, the Indian headquarters for Chabad Lubavitch, an Orthodox Jewish group. Police have surrounded the building.

Manmohan Singh addressed his country on national television: "We intend to ensure the safety of our citizens. We salute the police and men who lay down their lives in fighting these terrorists."

"The well-planned and well-orchestrated attacks, probably with external linkages, were intended to create a sense of terror by choosing high-profile targets," he said.

An e-mail claiming responsibility by the Deccan Mujahideen has not been verified or confirmed.

"It's even unclear whether it's a real group or not," said Professor Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism scholar at Georgetown University.

Update on Mumbai Attacks
The so called "Gunmen" are actually muslim terrorists. They were trained in neighbouring country Pakistan. The main co-ordinator behind this terror attack are Lashkar-e-Taiyba(LeT), a pakistan based terrorist outfit and pakistan's intelligence service, ISI. This information has been revealed by one of the terrorist captured by local police.

It's so sad to see the Taj collapse like that, slow but almost sure. It's making me cry.

why is media showing love coverage of the operation, the terriost may watch it on tv and change there strategy and creat problem for cammandos —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.40.64 (talk) 02:22, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand this attack. It was well coordinated, well funded, well planned, and well executed. Yet there appears not to have been any tactical objective, only widespread and untargeted slaughter. But if that were the case, surely a few bombs would have been easier, cheaper, and likely to result in the loss of fewer operatives? Further, how does an operation of this size with so many resources placed at its disposal go completely unnoticed beforehand? The only thing that is clear is that someone wants war... but who? And why? 72.89.126.2 01:38, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

UK coach driver jailed for triple-death crash near London

November 27, 2008

A driver for the UK coach firm National Express has been jailed for five years after causing a crash last year that killed three people. Philip Rooney, 49, was in a double-decker coach near London's Heathrow Airport which rolled on January 3 last year.

The vehicle landed on its side after Rooney attempted to take a 40mph turnoff at 55mph on the M4/M25 slip road near Heathrow. He was described at Oxford Crown Court today as driving like one 'possessed', possibly in a bid to make up for lost time after a luggage issue had delayed the London-Aberdeen service's departure.

Rooney had been delayed after summoning a taxi to transport one family's luggage due to a lack of room on the crowded coach. This delayed departure by an hour and a half.

The coach, with 69 passengers on board, skidded along on its side after overturning whilst Rooney made a safety announcement over the vehicle's PA system. 76-year-old Christina Toner from Dundee and 30-year-old Chinese citizen Yi Di Lin were killed, while 78-year-old John Carruthers from Chertsey, Surrey succumbed to his injuries six months later.

Another 65 people sustained injuries, including four who had amputations as a result of their injuries and 19 who suffered fractures. "After Heathrow the driver drove like he was possessed. He kept overtaking everything and going like the clappers," said one passenger. Fire and rescue crews had to cut several victims from the wreck.

Rooney had been convicted on five previous occasions of speeding in public service vehicles during his career of fifteen years with large passenger vehicles. He was also disciplined in 2004 by National Express after he was caught tampering with a speed limiter to allow him to drive his coach faster.

Defending, Mohammed Khamisa QC said of Rooney "The events [of the day in question] have crushed him and continue to haunt him," and that he offers his "heartfelt apologies" to all victims and relatives.

Rooney pled guilty to three counts of causing death by dangerous driving. He was jailed for five years, banned from driving for three and ordered to take an extended driving test.

Spain launches €11 billion stimulus package

November 28, 2008

Spain has launched a €11 billion stimulus plan intended to boost the weakening economy and create 300,000 jobs. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the Prime Minister of Spain, says that the money will be spent mostly in infrastructure and public works. A portion of the package will aim to assist Spain's auto industry, which accounts for a fifth of Spanish exports and has been hit hard by the economic crisis, having seen sales plummet 54.6% since the beginning of the year.

The plan represents 1.1% of Spain's gross domestic product, and is a part of the €200 billion stimulus announced by the European Union.

Spain's economy is in a sharp downturn due to a crash in the construction sector. Spanish GDP shrank 0.2% in the third quarter, the first such decline in fifteen years. Spain's unemployment rate reached 11.3% in September, a record for the European Union.

Germany launched a similar package worth €50 billion, and France is expected to launch economic measures worth €20 billion next week as well.

Comments:UK coach driver jailed for triple-death crash near London

Am I the only one who finds the sentencing for road traffic offences extremely lenient? I normally shrink away from screaming of 'not harsh enought!', 'lock them up for life!' etc. type comments, but in this case I must make one. When you consider this guys track record (one speeding conviction in a coach/bus every three years, disabling a speed limiter), the three deaths, and the fact that this guy wounded 65 people, a number maimed severely, as well as killed three means that realistically the penalty should really be more severe, and of course he should never have been allowed behind the wheel of any motor vehicle by the time the accident occured. As an asside, isn't it about time we had a charge of 'causing serious injury by dangerous driving'? Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 20:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Airbus A320 crashes off French coast, 7 missing or dead

November 27, 2008 An Airbus A320 airliner owned by Air New Zealand crashed into the Mediterranean Sea near Perpignan, killing at least two of a crew of seven, French officials reported on Thursday.

The aircraft crashed at about 5 p.m. local time (1600 UTC) during a test flight. The twin-engine jet airliner had just undergone maintenance at Perpignan in preparation for its return to Air New Zealand by German airline XL Airways, which had been operating it on lease.

The seven on board included two XL Airways crew, Civil Aviation Authority inspector Jeremy Cook of Wellington, and four Air New Zealand personnel. Air New Zealand has identified involved personnel as Captain Brian Horrell and Murray White of Auckland, and Michael Gyles and Noel Marsh of Christchurch. No additional passengers were on board for the flight, which was part of a maintenance test procedure. At least two bodies have been recovered. Though rescue efforts persisted into the night, there is no hope of the remaining five crew members being found alive, according to French officials.

The cause of the crash is not yet clear. The pilots may have attempted an emergency landing on water. Efforts are underway to recover the aircraft's black box. French, German, and New Zealand aviation authorities and investigators have been dispatched to the site to investigate the incident. Manufacturer Airbus, based in Toulouse, will aid the investigation, Airbus spokespersons stated.

A Civil Aviation Authority spokesperson stated that the incident does not cast any doubt on the airworthiness of the A320 design, a popular aircraft which has been involved in only ten fatal accidents since its introduction in 1987. Air New Zealand's fleet includes 13 A320s.

Standoff in Mumbai enters third day
The battle between the Indian security forces and terrorists which have taken over various targets across the city of Mumbai has entered the third day as the Indian security forces work to clear out and rescue remaining hostages as the death toll continues to rise.

Indian forces stormed the Oberoi Trident hotel, freeing over 200 hostages there. However, reports say that 24 to 30 hostages were still killed there. Meanwhile, Indian commandos also entered the Mumbai Chabad house, where they discovered the bodies of 5 hostages.

The last area of fighting that remains is at the historic Taj Mahal Palace & Tower hotel, where gunfire and explosions have been reported.

World's oldest person dies at age 115
Edna Parker, who became the world's oldest person over a year ago, has died at the age of 115 years and 220 days in a nursing home in Shelbyville, Indiana in the United States. Parker was born on April 20, 1893. She had been recognized as the world's oldest person by Guinness World Records ever since Yone Minagawa of Japan, who was four months older than her, died in 2007.

According to UCLA gerontologist Dr. Stephen Coles, Parker was the 14th oldest validated super centenarian in history.

Congolese refugees flee for Uganda
According to the United Nations refugee agency, 13,000 people have fled into Uganda from a rebel advance in the Democratic Republic of Congo in just two days. Some of those who crossed the border said that their relatives were killed by the rebels of General Laurent Nkunda.

Nkunda's forces declared a ceasefire last week, but they say that this does not apply to operations against foreign militia. They are now attacking Rwandan Hutu militas.

Comments:Second Bangkok airport closed, protests continue

the military's threatening unwilling to evacuate the PAD and end their violent campaign of seizures is amounting to a slow burning coup. the police are powerless to intervene because the PAD is equipped with military grade arms, and if the police disperse the PAD, the violence they will surely encounter would be used as pretext for the Thai Army to mobilize for their long-desired coup. the usurpation will completed i the courts, assuming the country slips into civil war after the months long absence of the rule of law due to the military's malicious negligence.

Thai PM declares state of emergency over airport blockades

November 28, 2008 With Thailand's People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) still blockading Bangkok's two international airports, the People's Power Party (PPP) Prime Minister, Somchai Wongsawat, has declared a state of emergency around Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi international airports. Police have been ordered to end the blockade and demonstrations, prompting the PAD to move demonstrators inside terminal buildings and post volunteer guards to fend off any action by authorities.

The staunchly royalist and anti-government protesters began upping the stakes in their campaign to bring down the populist PPP government last Sunday. A rallying call for protesters to mass at the occupied Government House compound on Sunday saw thousands ready for their Monday morning march on parliament. Since forcing the cancellation of sessions of both houses of parliament, the protesters have expanded their targets to include temporary government offices at Don Mueang, and then to close both of Bangkok's international airports.

Disruption by the PAD has now been in progress for over three months. The group which initially demonstrated in 2006 leading to a bloodless military coup to overthrow the now-fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra claims the current government is corrupt and merely a proxy for Thaksin, who remains in self-imposed exile. The current escalation of action has been dubbed their 'final battle' and although army commanders have dismissed reports that a second coup may be imminent, rumours that such may happen abound.

The PAD action is now starting to have a notable impact on Thailand's economy. Most apparent is the impact on the tourism industry with several countries advising their nationals not to fly into the country; Tuesday's invasion and closure of the new international airport saw 3,000 - 4,000 travelers stranded in terminal buildings. Normally handling around 75 flights an hour, Suvarnabhumi airport's closure is estimated to be costing the agriculture sector of the country's economy 3 billion baht (US$85 million) per day. As a major segment of the economy, the export by air of fresh fruit and vegetables is among Thailand's better known products.

Among the would-be travelers, the nearly 5,000 Thai Muslims who planned to make the annual Hajj pilgrimage are most distressed. Pridi Chueaphudee, an advisor to the leader of the country's Islamic community, has appealed for the PAD to permit pilgrims to fly out of the new international airport. According to the Bangkok Post there is concern that the blockade may send a message of religious intolerance to Saudi Arabia. Thai Airways have managed to arrange one chartered flight from Hat Yai International Airport to Jeddah, although this will only accommodate 250 of those seeking to attend the Hajj.

Meanwhile, the beleaguered Prime Minister Somchai remains in his home town of Chiang Mai in the north of the country. He was forced to divert there when returning from an APEC summit in Peru, and has set no date for his return to the capital. With concern that a coup may be in the offing, cabinet business is being conducted via video conferences with other senior government officials who are in Bangkok. He has dismissed calls from the military for the current government to be dissolved and fresh elections held.

With police apparently determined to avoid a repeat of the October 7 clashes that left two dead and around 500 injured, it may be the involvement of government supporters that tips the current crisis into violent confrontation. The pro-government United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) has called for their supporters to disperse PAD occupation of the airports should the government fail to act.

International community marks the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

December 02, 2008

November 29 marked the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People and the anniversary of the 1947 Resolution 181, which partitioned Palestine into two states – Jewish and Arab. Events have been held throughout the week including a non-violent Palestinian demonstration held in Bethlehem on Thursday, the screening of a film, "Voice from the Heart of Gaza" by Popular Committee against the Siege and photo exhibits at the Al Shawa Cultural Center and the United Nations.

On November 24, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said, "The Palestinians have been deprived of their inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination and statehood, for more than 60 years. Israelis live with an ever-present sense of insecurity. There is only one way to address such legitimate rights and fears: a peace agreement that results in an end of occupation, an end of conflict, and the creation of a State of Palestine living side-by-side in peace with the State of Israel".

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz had warned of a concerted diplomatic attack against Israel at the United Nations General Assembly. The Israeli Ambassador Gabriela Shalev said the UN is disconnected from reality and "does not represent or reflect what is truly happening" at a time when Israel is engaged in peace talks with the Palestinian Authority. The UN General Assembly President, Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann of Nicaragua, called for an international boycott of Israel and accused it of being an apartheid regime. The European Jewish Congress (EJC) denounced "anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks" made by Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann and called for his resignation.

Dmitry Medvedev, the president of Russia said, “I want to reiterate the Russian Federation’s principled position of support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate national aspirations, including the right to establish an independent and viable Palestinian state. It is my conviction that the restoration of state sovereignty would contribute to stability in the region and the safe coexistence and conflict-free mutually beneficial cooperation of all countries and peoples. We support your commitment to peaceful dialogue in the aim of finding a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and finding mutually acceptable solutions based on universally recognized international law. Restoration of intra-Palestinian unity remains an important condition for achieving these aims".

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao sent a congratulatory message to the UN meeting on Tuesday which said, "To resolve the Palestinian issue at an early date is the aspiration of the people in the Mideast as well as the common expectation of the international community. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China will continue to support the United Nations in playing an important role in solving the Mideast problem and pushing forward the settlement of the Palestinian issue".

Gaza has had twenty-three days of complete closure and undergone a 18-month siege which has lead regional and international organizations to warn of a humanitarian catastrophe.

British soldier jailed for 10 years for spying for Iran

November 28, 2008

An Iranian-born British soldier has been jailed for ten years after being convicted of "communicating information useful to an enemy". Forty-five year-old Daniel James from Brighton had been the personal translator for the head of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, General Sir David Richards.

After joining the Territorial Army, Britain's army reserve, James was sent to Afghanistan in May 2006. He was arrested in December 2006, two months after he made contact with Colonel Mohammed Hossein Heydari, an Iranian military attaché in Kabul. The court heard allegations that James believed he had been denied promotion because of racism and jealousy, and also that he had debts of £25,000 and had mortgages on four properties in Brighton.

The jury at London's Central Criminal Court was unable to agree on verdicts on two other charges under the Official Secrets Act, relating to his possession of sensitive documents on a USB memory stick, and a second of misconduct in a public office.

Oh, this is one gem for sure!
 * According to the Bangkok Post there is concern that the blockade may send a message of religious intolerance to Saudi Arabia.

ROTFL!

 * The Hajj is very important for Muslims, and Saudi Arabia is a huge investor that respects the importance of the Hajj. 72.154.55.155 20:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I suspect Saudi Arabia makes a huge profit from the Haj. All those pilgrims need somewhere to stay, food to eat, and likely buy souvenirs. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:08, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 * My point was that Saudi Arabia, with its beheading for apostasy laws and prohibition of practicing any religion other than Islam in public (where "in public" is >2 people) is certainly not the country that should ever complain about someone else's "religious intolerance"! 81.5.110.76 10:56, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Swat Team Time
Move in - give the protesters 30 minutes to move out and tell them exactly what is going to happen to them if they don't leave - be clear be specific -tell the media too and then do exactly what you said you would do. You will disburse from the airport or you will be arrested - if you resist force will be used at first it will be non-lethal. If one policeman is hurt - you will begin using lethal force. Be very very clear - let the media know what is going to happen. Then start arresting EVERYBODY who doesn't move. Enough is enough. The time for games is OVER. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.159.44.91 (talk) 00:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Like that'll work. Lethal force? Arresting several thousand protesters? C'mon, look at what happened in October and what hideously bad PR that was. My guess is the whole thing won't start to get resolved until December 5. That's the King's birthday, and if he asks the protesters to allow the reopening of the airports, they're kinda forced to since they claim to be fighting a government that is anti-monarchy. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:08, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about Thailand's politics but I really hope it's as you say. And that nobody will be hurt. -Alemaco (talk) 14:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As the latest article I've written hints, this could all come to an end as early as next Tuesday. The constitutional court is due to hear closing arguments over a case that could see the ruling PPP outlawed and half the cabinet disqualified from politics for vote buying. This would force new elections and get rid of many of the people who are seen as Thaksin puppets. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:15, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

William Gibson, American playwright, dies at age 94

November 28, 2008 American playwright William Gibson has died at the age of 94 in Massachusetts, according to reports. The cause of death was not publicly disclosed, but BBC News says he died in his home.

Gibson is likely most famous for the play he wrote in 1957 entitled The Miracle Worker, which was based on the autobiography of the blind and deaf woman, Helen Keller called The Story of My Life. The play, originally written for television, went on Broadway in 1960, where it later won three Tony Awards. It went on to become a movie in 1962 where it also won several Oscars.

Gibson wrote 12 plays throughout his career, including Golden Boy, Golda Balcony in 2003, which was about former Israeli prime minister, Golda Meir. It was his last play before his death.

"The act of writing makes everything possible to me. I've always found the business of writing has helped me to live," said Gibson in an interview with the Associated Press in 2003.

Gunman opens fire inside store in California, USA

🇺🇸 November 28, 2008

At least two people have been shot and killed in Palm Desert, California, after a gunman opened fire inside a Toys "R" Us toy store.

A spokesman for the Riverside County sheriff's office said shots were reported to have been fired inside the store, and that two people had been shot and killed. Witnesses say that a fight erupted between two men. It then got louder and louder, when one pulled out a gun and began to shoot.

One man told the Associated Press that he thought the argument might have been due to a toy the men were fighting over.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S., is traditionally known as the biggest shopping day in the country when many retailers have deep discounts and sales on many products. Shoppers generally wake up early and spend much of the day shopping.

Earlier today, a worker was killed and at least three others were injured in a Black Friday door-buster sale stampede at a Wal-Mart in Long Island, New York. They had been knocked over and trampled by a crowd of other shoppers entering the store when it opened.

UK retailers MFI and Woolworths collapse

November 28, 2008

Two major retail chains in the United Kingdom — general retailer Woolworths Group and furniture vendor MFI Group — have entered administration. Entertainment UK — which distributes videos and DVDs to retailers and are owned by Woolworths — have also entered administration.

"The boards of Woolworths PLC and Entertainment UK Ltd have concluded that there is no longer any prospect of those businesses being able to operate as a going concern," said a Woolworths statement.

Woolworths, who sells household goods, music and other items, owns 815 stores nationwide, and MFI owns 111. MFI CEO Gary Favell said he had "secured the future of the MFI business" in September when he led a management buyout, but cracks rapidly appeared. Favell revealed administrator Kroll were to take control of the property division and half the stores were surrendered to the administrators. He also asked landlords to grant a three-month period of no rent for the 'new' MFI, which only some agreed to, leaving Kroll to seek payment for the rest.

Now the entirety of MFI is in administration, with MCR as the administrator. "Closing down sales" have been announced by MCR. Analysts predict that while in the short term consumer confidence will be damaged by the collapse, in the middle term it will help the situation as excess competition and capacity are removed. MFI employs 1,500 people.

The administrators for Woolworths and Entertainment UK are consultancy firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. "In the last 24 hours we have received expressions of interest from a number of parties for both the retail and wholesale businesses," said Deloitte partner Dan Butters. "We are working hard to ensure that any sale of the business, in whole or part, will preserve jobs." The 25,000 Woolworths employees have their positions safe until Christmas.

Shares in Woolworths have been suspended at just over a penny each. The firm also owns 2Entertain, a DVD publishing joint venture with BBC Worldwide, and book wholesalers Bertram Books. Both are currently operating as usual, although Woolworths is seeking to sell 40% of 2Entertain to the BBC.

"The important thing is in the long run that employees in this company - where the businesses and the shops are not going to stay open in the longer term - can get other jobs quickly," Prime Minister Gordon Brown said. "That's why we're going to move in immediately to give advice to employees."

Mumbai sieges come to an end

November 29, 2008

Police forces in India have ended the hostage sieges which followed the Mumbai attacks, which began on Wednesday in Mumbai, the financial capital of India.

It ended when commandos finally caught up with a lone gunman, who had played a cat-and-mouse game in the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, nearly 56 hours after the attacks began. According to Indian television and radio, 155 people have been killed and 327 others wounded. Local media have described the attacks as "India's 9/11." CNN is reporting over 160 dead and 370 injured. Eleven gunmen killed are not counted in these totals.

Police say that they are in control of both the Taj Mahal and Oberoi Trident hotels. Nearly 300 people have been freed.

The siege of Nariman House, an outreach post of the orthodox-Jewish sect Chabad-Lubavitch, ended when at least eight Black Cats commandos entered the building by rope from a helicopter. No hostages or attackers survived the assault, though details are still unclear.

"These people were very, very familiar with the hotel layouts and it appears they had carried out a survey before," said an unidentified commander of MARCOS, India's elite marine commandos. The commandos were hampered because they feared injuring hotel guests if they used overwhelming force.

"Bodies were strewn all over the place, and there was blood everywhere," he said.

The commander also noted that his unit found a backpack belonging to one of the gunmen. Inside they found dried fruit, 400 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, four grenades, Indian rupees and American dollars, and seven credit cards from some of the world’s leading banks and a national ID card for the island nation of Mauritius.

"Once the bodies are collected, the number of deaths might go up to 200," said India's Minister of Home Affairs Sri Prakash Jaiswal.

"We came up against highly motivated terrorists," said Vice-Admiral J.S. Bedi, whose commandos led the assault against the militants.

India's foreign minister, Pranab Mukherjee, said, "Preliminary evidence indicates that elements with links to Pakistan are involved," stirring a diplomatic row between India and Pakistan. Observers have said that the attacks bear the hallmarks of Lashkar-e-Toiba or Jaish-e-Mohammed, both of which are believed to be based in Pakistan and also responsible for previous attacks on India.

However, Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousaf Raza Gillani said that Pakistan had "nothing to do with the attacks."

"It is unfair to blame Pakistan or Pakistanis for these acts of terrorism even before an investigation is undertaken," Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, said in a statement. "Instead of scoring political points at the expense of a neighboring country that is itself a victim of terrorism, it is time for India's leaders to work together with Pakistan's elected leaders in putting up a joint front against terrorism."

Ban religion
religion kills and terrorism also kills so the only way to end this is to ban all relgion..............

 * Oh yeah that's totally going to work. --66.229.21.217 13:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes It will. --69.157.172.221 17:33, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Okay tell me by banning all worlds religions in the planet that has over 6 billion people. You think their just going to give up their faith? You not only give ammo too the extremes but also attacking moderates people of faith and banning people basic civil rights of the right to practice their faith would never solve anything it would just make things worse. and just wonding would atheism be banned to? It's a religion too. --66.229.21.217 17:46, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

You don't ever want to ban things if avoidable. You make them unnecessary, socially unacceptable, controlled, etc. For example, if you wanted to knock pot smoking back to the minimal levels, you criminalize commercial sales, but legalize growing small quantities at home, thus totally destroying the market. For Religion, you merely need to : If people are shown the harm religion, and shown that religion is mostly unnecessary, then they will mostly abandoned it. I mean, you don't care what people believe, you just care when god people give money to organizations that then give money to terrorists, Bush v2, etc. Nyarlathotep (talk) 18:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC) "Civilization will not attain perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest." --Brian McNeil / talk 23:23, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) support civil rights for women & gays, say by adding more strong women and gay characters in TV, and
 * 2) encourage science education and scientifically inspired philosophy like Danial Dennet's Breaking the Spell.

 * There will be, I hope I'm wrong, another backlash by cowardly Hindu nationalists. They are NOTHING but the SCUM of this Earth. I hope Muslims will realise to stand strong together as they have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ATTACKS. If India attacks Pakistan, and it is clear that Pakistan is innocent in this, then the cowardice of India will truly show. Find a stereotype and take your anger out on innocents, they say. The primitive mind of Hindu nationalists always astounds me. "Islolate, detroy, eliminate" were the words of Hitler; shame that India is adopting this theology. The people who carried out these attacks in Mumbai, are of course, unforgivable - where, you tell me, does the Qu'ran state "kill the innocent"?. Ironically the Nationlists adopt this philosophy themselves (see the connection with primitiveness?). Why not adopt a policy of non-hatred; non-aggression? Isn't that what Ghandi taught? Anyway...hate is bad for you. Litrally. Did you know it causes cancer and blood-pressure to sky rocket? Ghandi was intelligent, and probably recognised the consequences of hate. I only hope Hindu nationalists do not commit the vile and putrid acts that the Nazis had done so. Muslims and Hindus have the SAME ANCESTRY. Wake up people. Stop killing each other! It is not funny. 78.144.177.108 02:07, 30 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.177.108 (talk)

Unprofessional Counter Terrorist Forces
The coverage I saw of the Indian security forces was embarrassing. They didn't seem to be well prepared for this type of situation. Perhaps the Indian government should commit to some kind of international cooperative training of its military. I realize that not every hostage situation can end well, but I think the majority of people who see these images will attribute the casualties to an unprofessional counter terrorism force which was poorly equipped for the job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.129.174 (talk) 22:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

India Wins over Terrorism
It is very unfair for a banned terroris group to take over people and kill them in a brutual manner. Although sources say the casualities are around 155-165, the actual death toll may bounce upto 200 or more after the final count. India wins over this brutual terrorists act once again proving that it got the capacity and capability to overcome nations involved in terrorists acts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.95.172.16 (talk) 02:34, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

46 injured in grenade attack in Thailand
A grenade attack on protesters who have been occupying the government house in the Thai capital of Bangkok has injured 46 people, according to emergency services.

The explosion occurred as the Thai authorities were trying to put an end to blockades of the two Bangkok airports by People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) demonstrators. The protesters are demanding that the Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat resign, and have occupied the government house since August.

"Protesters have returned to their positions, they are not scared," said Suriyasai Katasila, a PAD spokesman, to local Channel Three television.

Cameroon gives world's rarest gorilla protection boost
The Cameroon government has created a new national park in an effort to protect the world's rarest subspecies of gorilla, the critically endangered Cross River.

The park is to be named as Takamanda National Park. Approximately 115 of the Cross River gorillas live there, about a third of worldwide population of the species, which is thought to be at about 300.

The Wildlife Conservation Society, or WCS, helped establish the park, and says that it will help slow the hunting and deforestation that have led the Cross River species to the verge of extinction.

Steven E. Sanderson, president and CEO of WCS, said that "the government of Cameroon is to be commended for taking this step in saving the Cross River gorilla for future generations."

I removed the transclusion of special:oldreviewedpages as its unfortunatly no longer transcludable (see 16188), which is kind of sad as it makes sense to have this all on one page (and i'm really unsure what possible secret information that special page could have on it that would be dangerous if it got into the hands of non-reviewers).

Riots in Nigeria kill nearly 400

November 30, 2008 According to a French journalist and the imam of the local mosque, around 400 people have been killed in the riots that erupted due to a dispute in the result of the local elections.

The riots are taking place in the Nigerian city of Jos, which is located between the Christian and Muslim areas of Nigeria.

The elections which sparked the violence, did, according to a rumor spread around the city, result in the predominantly Christian People's Democratic Party beating the All Nigerian Peoples Party, a predominantly Muslim party.

Khaled Abubakar, the imam of the city's central mosque, made an estimate of the death toll. "So far about 400 bodies have been brought to the mosque following the outbreak of violence," he stated. "Families are coming to identify and claim the bodies, while those that cannot be identified or are not claimed by anybody will be interred by the mosque."

A French journalist confirmed the reports of Abubakar, despite the fact that early reports showed only twenty deaths.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the death toll.

Yakumu Pam, a Christian clergyman in Jos, also commented on the chaos. "Hundreds of people have been killed in the last two days since the riots started," he stated. "Remains of burned bodies litter some parts of the town. It is so terrible."

In an effort to stop the fighting, the army has been ordered to open fire on people, and to create a buffer zone between the Christians and the Muslims.

Umaru Yar'Adua, the President of Nigeria, has stated that he is "very sad" about the ongoing violence.
