Miscellaneous Religion of Peace and post Prayer round up

Buh-bye. Scottish suicide doc's bro (the one that went up in flames at Glasgow Airport. You remember his extra crispy self) was sentenced to 18 months jail and then deportation for lying about his brother's whereabouts to the police. He serves 270 days and then gets the boot. More detail can be found here. And all you ultra-hip club-goers out there? Read about the Glasgow bombers' plan to systematically attack the uber-cool night spots that you so like to frequent. (Hey, I may have put the Din-ah in Dinosaur but I used to like to frequent them, too.)

Just another Friday night in Dhaka. Hundreds of people campaigning for Islamic rule in Bangladesh have clashed with police over a new policy advocating more rights for women. What rights were these peaceful souls rioting in the streets about? Equal inheritance. And the riots took place AFTER Friday prayers, I might add.



Karachi Islam-o-lawyers gone wild. They're duking it out on the streets, 13 people are dead - offices and cars set on fire. I thought for sure there was an Islam-o-lawyer joke in there somewhere - and then I read this:

Tahir Plaza, a building opposite City Courts where chambers of lawyers are situated, was set ablaze with six persons including a woman inside having burnt alive. Seven more persons were killed in incidents of firing in the city. Out of eight bodies recovered from Tahir Plaza two were identified as Basit and Dawar Hasan.

More than 80 vehicles were burnt in the city by miscreants without any reason while over 17 buses and coaches were torched during violence only for show of power. Process for burning the vehicles was similar to as earlier witnessed on 18 October and 27 December 2007 by throwing gun powder which instantly burns the vehicle from top to bottom.



Geez. Had enough bombings, murder and mayhem? Well, then read about the UK Headmistress forced out of her school by Moslem Governors and who is now suing because of it. She "failed to meet the needs of the faith-based community".
