A Death On The Nile And The Saudi Disciple of Destruction!

Egypt's Coptic Pope Shenuda III dies!

Named Coptic pope of Alexandria in 1971, Shenuda led the Copts, estimated at 10 percent of Egypt's population of 80 million, for the best part of a generation that saw Egypt hit by a wave of Islamic militancy from which he sought to protect it. News of Shenuda's death was certain to cause dismay among Egypt's beleaguered Coptic population, many of whom looked up to him as a spiritual guide.

Shenuda, whose community is one of the Oriental Orthodox churches that recognise the primacy of neither the Catholic papacy nor the Eastern Orthodox patriarchate, maintained a keen interest in promoting church unity. He served as head of both the World Council of Churches and the Middle East Council of Churches, and founded churches in several African countries. (AP)

Meanwhile...last Monday, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.”

Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah is not just some random Muslim hating of churches. He is the Grand Mufti of the nation that brought Islam to the world. Moreover, he is the President of the Supreme Council of Ulema [Islamic scholars] and Chairman of the Standing Committee for Scientific Research and Issuing of Fatwas. Accordingly, when it comes to what Islam teaches, his words are immensely authoritative.

Imagine what would happen if a Christian counterpart to the Grand Mufti, say the Pope, were to declare that all mosques in Italy must be destroyed! Yet the Grand Mufti—the highest Islamic law authority of our “friend-and-ally” Saudi Arabia—gets a free pass when he incites Muslims to destroy churches.

All of this is nothing short of a scandal—a reminder of just how deep the mainstream media, academia, and most politicians have their collective heads thrust in the sand when it comes to standing up to intolerance of Islam. This is the latest piece of evidence of just how bad churches have it in the Muslim world, for those who care to know.

Einstein 1 Neutrinos 0

The new measurements were made by a team working independently from the scientists who had made the tentative but hugely controversial claim about "faster-than-light" particles. Their findings "indicate the neutrinos do not exceed the speed of light," the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) said in a press release.

Hm...Anyone got a new battery?My calculator's been at
the beer again.

When the OPERA team went public with their findings, they predictably unleashed a barrage of tough questions. Particles that travel faster than light would smash a hole in Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, a cornerstone of modern physics.

Albert Einstein, expressing his opinion of
that faster than the speed of light bollocks.

"If this result at CERN is proved to be right, and particles are found to travel faster than the speed of light, then I am prepared to eat my shorts, live on TV," Jim Al-Khalili, a professor of theoretical physics at Britain's University of Surrey, declared at the time.

No shorts are reported to have been consumed which is just as well, as a very hot vindaloo took the blame for a less than mild eruption in that geographic area.

Israeli Innovation 7: Ninety Two And Still The Prof Delivers!

The Knockout Prof!
A 92-year-old scientist from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has invented a kit that enables the immediate detection of drug-resistant bacteria, one of the major concerns of organizations like the World Health Organization.

The 92 year old's magic kit.

According to Yissum, the research and development company of the Hebrew University, in the United States alone, antibiotic-resistant infections are responsible for eight million additional hospital stays every year and for the consequent bed-to-bed spread of resistance, leading to over $20 billion per year in excess health care costs and $35 billion per year in societal costs.

Identification within minutes.
The kit, developed by the almost centenarian Professor Emeritus Nathan Citri, enables direct and precise recognition of bacterial resistance to all members of the family of beta-lactams, which is the most widely used group of antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems.
Furthermore, the kits not only detect the presence of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, but also offer immediate information on the type of antibiotic that may still be of use. (nocamels) (Photo: Copyright Control).

Turkey Trots Out Their Usual Twaddle!

The Hamas Hyena (left) thanked the Turkish Islamist prime minister for his efforts to achieve Palestinian unity, and to break the siege on Gaza. Siege?

Here's why Israel should NEVER trust any
Islamic country...and the Turkey tossers should
NEVER be allowed to join the E.U.

After 12.000 rockets fired into Israel that Islamofascist prick thinks HE is under siege? All of you Jihad jerk-off fuckers can piss off to Egypt anytime. Oh...and Erdogan expressed anger regarding Israel's aggression! (Photo: Copyright Control).

The saga of Islam: A Plague on the Planet!

Big Mac? Don't Be Such A Whimp-O!

Ahhhhhh...NURSE!

Take a friend along to grill you're by-pass baby...but only if they're a doc.

My Bucket List: Gaza No More!

If the Islamofascist entities continue with their rocket attacks on southern Israel, that rats nest called Gaza could be given a super make-over, Berlin '45 style!
