Refusal to accept ‘impure’ animal leads to £1,400 fine (Gulf Times, Doha)

A Muslim minicab driver refused to take a blind passenger because her guide dog was "unclean".

Abdul Rasheed Majekodumni told Jane Vernon she could not get into his car with the dog because of his religion.

Islamic tradition warns Muslims against contact with dogs because they are seen as impure.


Asshat doesn't even know his own faith. Yes, dogs are seen as unclean, but they are tolerated if they provide a service or function, such as hunting, guarding, or guide services.

*sigh*

We'll take a break from the occasional Mutant Candy report to do a Mutant Food report

Namely Tontio's Mega Pizza Rolls

Now, Tonio's Pizza Rolls have to be one of my guiltest of guilty pleasures. They have almost no value what so ever, and the cheese in them triggers my milkfat problem, which can cause an IBS attack if I over-indulge.

But damnit, I happen to really like "Pizza Creatures" And really missed them in Doha.

When I got back to the states, I found the new "Mega" Pizza Rolls, which are twice the size of the regular ones. Okay, worth a shot.

And you know what, they're not bad. They seemed a little tougher and more chewy though, since I suspect the wrappers are thicker.

Still, I suspect I could get used to these too.........

Don't people have ANYTHING better to do????

Apple's NY Fifth Avenue store is an 'insult to Islam'

"According to a report on The Middle East Media Research Institute, Apple's NY Fifth Avenue store has been slammed by "an Islamic website" as a "new insult to Islam".

The reason? Well, it resembles the Muslims' sacred Ka'ba, situated in the Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca:

The "Islamic website" claims that since the offending structure is known as the "Apple Mecca", and "contains bars selling alcoholic beverages", it constitutes "a blatant insult to Islam". The site accordingly calls on Muslims to spread the word in the hope that "Muslims will be able to stop the project".

Sadly, it's a bit late for that, since the store opened for business back in May. We do have some good news, though. As far as we're aware it's not called the "Apple Mecca", it does not serve alcoholic beverages, and neither Jack Straw nor Salman Rushdie work behind the counter.

Was looking at the information pamphet from Powells Books in Portland.

Lets see. A Bookstore spanning a full city block. Four floors, old and new books together, over 4 million books total. With ATM machines on each floor, providing a direct siphon from my bank account to their coffers.

But all those books!

For a book addict like me, that's like dark chocolate covered double chcolate chip espresso crack flakes with extra crack sprinkled on top.

Man shells out £14k on army tank for supermarket run

"Driver Stephen Ellison keeps bringing traffic grinding to a halt - by going to town in a 7.5 tonne tank.

The father of one has left other motorists stunned after shelling out £14,000 on a 1974 Sabre light reconnaissance tank.

Now 42-year old Stephen uses the military vehicle instead of a car for shopping trips - zooming round at up to 40mph near his home in Winsford, Cheshire, drawing astonished looks from fellow motorists and passers-by."
