In a calculated effort to vilify Islam and generate support for further US military aggressions against Muslim countries, Horowitz is proclaiming an "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" on dozens of American college campuses starting Oct. 22.
The very term "Islamo-fascism" is obviously very tendentious and scandalously inaccurate. In fact, one could argue with absolute certitude that the term is an inherent and eternal oxymoron, since Islam represents the ideological antithesis of fascism, a western concept based on authoritarianism, chauvinism, jingoism, bellicosity and militarism.
The Quran proclaims that " O Mankind, We (God) Created you from a single pair of male and female and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know (cooperate with) each other.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Ray-J / Kay Slay! Update on Dr. Donda West! Paris ...
Here are some quickies since most of the rumors are from yesterday, earlier today and stuff.
What's this madness I hear? Baby Sham, Rah Digga, Rampage and Spliff Starr are no longer Flipmode? They are now called…The Famous Millionaire Squad (FMS).
I think with the talk of Foxy Brown getting out of jail early it was only natural that her wig get pushed back… Her album is now delayed until Feb of 08.
Juelz Santana is also supposedly going to drop in Feb of 08 with a new album! AYE!
Congrats to Jay-Z on hitting that No. 1 spot. Peace out Elvis! He sold 433k, Chris Brown pushed 301k and Cassidy squeeked in the Top 10 with 67k sold.
LIVE BLOG: Apex Beating Britt 33-31 Going Into Fourth
I'm here inside Minges Coliseum now, and I'll be keeping you up-to-date on what's going on in the Apex vs. Jack Britt game. The favorite here has to be Britt, but Apex's magical run through the playoffs could continue. I think we're going to see a very good game here, but the thing I'm looking for is how the height of the Bucs impacts how Apex plays their game. We'll see soon enough. The clock shows 1:35 before the start of the game, we'll have a little longer than that, though. Just an update - Wakefield was knocked out of the playoffs this afternoon with a 66-53 loss to Westover. More on that coming later today. 9:37 AM: Well, I'm still in Raleigh at this point, but we're preparing to head out to Pitt County to cover the final day of the Eastern Regionals. We will have coverage of both local games: Wakefield vs.
Milwaukee vs. Philadelphia
He tied a season high with 22 points and added 13 rebounds while making 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts in the Sixers' 117-83 win over Seattle on Friday night. "It's been a little while since I had fun. It's been a little while since I enjoyed myself," Dalembert said. "I'm just trying to go back to that same way no matter what happens. Winning is our goal, but sometimes you have to try to look for the fun." It might be easier to have fun with the Sixers suddenly thriving. They're hoping to pull within three games of .500 for the first time since they were 14-17 on Dec. 31, and appear optimistic about their chances of advancing to the postseason for the first time since 2005. "I just love the way we're playing," Dalembert said. "We're winning basketball (games) so that's most important." While Dalembert has just come on recently, Philadelphia has gotten significant contributions from a number of players during its hot streak.

Internet Does Linking to Copyrighted Material Infringe? Warner Says ...
Warner Bros. Records files suit against music search engine, SeeqPod for infringement of copyrighted material Warner Bros. Records announced on Friday that it has filed suit against music streaming search engine, SeeqPod. According to Ars Technica, the media giant claims that the search engine, though it does not host any of its available files, infringes on the copyrighted works of intellectual property owners. SeeqPod defends itself, using the DMCA's "safe harbor" provision to protect it from lawsuits. Under the provision, companies that only link intellectual property, and not host them, are protected from lawsuits. The provision was meant to defend search engines that link to illegal websites, so long as the web service does not hand select certain material that can be linked. Only as long as the service automatically links without specifically selecting the recipients of the material or the material itself, is it protected under the provision.
Huckabee, Obama Win in Alabama
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Mike Huckabee turned out evangelical voters and Barack Obama captured black and young voters as both won Alabama's presidential primaries Tuesday. Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, defeated Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who ran third. Huckabee, with strong appeal to fellow Southern Baptists, earlier won his home state and Georgia. "It's hard for this old Razorback to say 'Roll Tide Roll,' but I'm saying it tonight," Huckabee said. Obama, the Illinois senator, defeated New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who did not visit Alabama during the closing days of the primary. With more than 90 percent of Alabama's precincts reporting, Huckabee had 41 percent, McCain 38 percent, Romney 18 percent and Ron Paul 3 percent.
McCain and Obama trade jabs on Iraq
How is it he now consistently wins 80 % of the Black vote no matter where he goes? What changed in just 12 weeks? ————————————————————————— For one thing Bill Clinton's belittling remark about even Jesse Jackson winning South Carolina when he ran for president. Another was his sarcastic contention that Obama's stance on Iraq was a “fairy tale." Understandably, neither of these remarks resonated with the black electorate and they have let their displeasure be known at the ballot box. Hillary's slide among African American voters can be traced to those two remarks. .

The hottest new cruise ships for 2008
Because mega cruise ships are homogenous in so many areas—from their multiple mall-like restaurants to the pre-fab cabins, giant playrooms and sprawling spas—cruise lines strive to differentiate themselves in any way they can. But what makes a new cruise ship ink-worthy? It's not enough to be adrenaline-pumping and ear-splitting; they need a weird factor to turn our heads. These days, many cruise lines aim to make waves—and grab market share—with outlandish gimmicks. But who says gimmicks can't be fun? Celebrity's upcoming Solstice, for instance, has a patch of grass on an upper deck for picnicking, golf putting and croquet. If that's too snoresville for you, experts lead glass-blowing demos nearby. Fluted goblets anyone? Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas has a surfing simulator that shoots out 20-mile-an-hour waves.
