Turkey is preparing to lift the ban on the wearing of Islamic headscarves
Turkey’s ruling AK party has come to an agreement with a nationalist party on lifting the ban on women’s Islamic headscarves (hijab) in the country’s universities. The move will doubtless upset Turkey’s secular elite, who see the ban as a key element separating religion from the state.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan – whose wife and daughters wear the headscarf – denies claims by secularists that his AK party – which has its roots in Islam – is trying to boost the role of religion in the staunchly secular nation. A statement said: “The issue of the headscarf was evaluated in terms of rights and freedoms, and the technical work on lifting the ban is continuing.”
The ruling party needs parliamentary backing from the nationalists of the MHP to reform two clauses in the constitution, one which says everyone in Turkey is equal regardless of language, race, color, sex or religion, and another which says no-one should be deprived the right to an education. Many women in Turkey decide not to go to university because they want to keep their heads covered, and opinion polls show strong public support for the ban to be lifted.
It’s a film about the difference between moderate Muslims and the radicals who want to kill us. It asks where are the moderate Muslims and why aren’t they speaking out against the jihadists? And it was financed with $675,000 of taxpayers’ money.
This double documentary was part of American at Crossroads: after 911
It is divided in 2 “Islam vs Islamists” and “Muslims against Jihad”
This documentary shows what the media don’t want to show… the truth Muslims….
Shows the fact that the big victims of the extremists are the Muslims.
“They cannot impose themselfs to the Government so they try to do it in us”
The movie was censored by PBS… Mark Burnet says:
“I didn’t mind to change things technically… i did it but when they ask me to change the script, They want me to make a logical connection between the ordinaries Muslims with the terrorists”

You can make pre-order already 
The death penalty violates the right to life. It is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. It has no place in a modern criminal justice system.
An execution, just like torture, involves a deliberate assault on a prisoner. Even so-called ‘humane’ methods such as lethal injection can entail excruciating suffering.
Capital punishment is irrevocable. All judicial systems make mistakes, and as long as the death penalty persists, innocent people will be executed.
It is also discriminatory and is often used disproportionately against the poor, the powerless and the marginalized, as well as against people whom repressive governments want to eliminate.
The death penalty does not deter crime more than other punishments. In Canada the homicide rate has fallen by 40 per cent since 1975; the death penalty was abolished for murder in 1976.
International human rights treaties prohibit courts sentencing anyone who was under 18 years old at the time of the crime to death, or executing them. But a small number of countries continue to execute child offenders, violating their obligations under international law.
Key facts
- 135 countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice.
- 62 countries retain and use the death penalty, most often as a punishment for people convicted of murder.
- At least 1,591 people were known to be executed in 25 countries during 2006. The true figure was certainly higher.
- 91 per cent of all known executions in 2006 took place in China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan and the USA.

003.145 Nor can a soul die except by God’s will, the term being fixed as by writing[...] We reward those that (serve us with) gratitude.
Thousands of years had passed… It’s time to stop killing each others. God reward those who forgive
