What is the Muslim Brotherhood

Muslim Brotherhood is a religious and political group founded on the belief that Islam is not simply a religion, but a way of life. It advocates a move away from secularism, and a return to the rules of the Quran as a basis for healthy families, communities, and states. he movement officially rejects the use of violent means to secure its goals. However, offshoots of the group have been linked to attacks in the past, and critics blame the Brotherhood for sparking troubles elsewhere in the Middle East. Many consider it the forerunner of modern militant Islamism

Egypt Web shutdown

To combat social media, another important weapon for the demonstrators, outside experts and people living in the country say the government has coordinated a blockage of certain communications websites and unplugged internet access entirely to parts of the country.Cellular telephone operators were told by authorities to suspend services in parts of Egypt, according to a statement from Vodafone, a global cell carrier that operates there.When social media websites were blocked, many in Egypt had found their way around it by using software called proxies.
This remains a common practice for people in China looking to skirt the government's "great wall" blocking certain Web services. Proxies can trick internet providers and routing services designed to block certain cities or countries into believing that a person is located elsewhere.

Operation Babies

Ok, operation babies! six peoplewere arrested in Greece, including a doctor and lawyer, while five people were detained in Bulgaria. The investigation, dubbed "Operation Babies," discovered 14 cases of women who had agreed to sell their newborns!
the idea of buying or selling your baby just rings my brain! there are so many babies in the world that can be adopted legally.
trafficking women for sex slaves is a whole different crime, but really babies?

teehe

teacher grading parents?

Kelli Stargel, is crazy if she thinks that this bill will pass, why should a teacher have the right to grade their students involvement in their child's education? Couldn't the teacher make a call home or set up a conference?
"I think a lot of parents understand that is something that is critical," she said. "On the other hand, you have some parents that don't realize they are not providing the needs."
she even sounds like a idiot! ok I understand the fact that a parent should be involved with their children's education, but taking the liberty to grade a parent is just not acceptable, and not needed.
