Default Tennis is lethal in some parts of the world

Some UN committee reacted immediately, demanding that women's soccer should make the wearing of burkha's obligatory.

There also is some pragmatic revenue in enforcing such dressing codes. You occasionally get rewarded a new car.

They're just doing what we did 700 years ago; they have some of the finest minds of the 14th century, after all.

Last week, 15 members of Iraq's taekwondo team were kidnapped between Falluja and Ramadi, west of Baghdad, said a member of the Iraqi Olympic Committee. The kidnappers have demanded $100,000 for their release.

I vote for mandatory execution of all captured kidnappers in Iraq, no trial allowed.. Just shoot them in the face. Bastards.

That's about right. Unfortunately, they have forgone the use of 14th century weapons for 21st century weapons.

So, you see, Islam is adaptive and progressive.
